1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of an in vitro method of tissue distribution to accurately predict total water and extracellular aqueous spaces using marker compounds urea and inulin.

methodsSlices (50-200 mg) of all the major tissues in the rat were incubated with Hanks/HEPES pH7.4 buffer containing 14C-urea and 3H-inulin for 2 h at 37 degrees C. Tissue weight was noted before and after incubation and the tissue-to-buffer ratios determined.

results14C-Urea Kp estimates were generally greater than total tissue water due to tissue swelling, which varied widely among the tissues, up to 41% in muscle. In most cases, Kp values were much closer to in vivo values after correcting for the 14C-urea in the imbibed media (Kpcorr). The method was able to distinguish between 14C-urea and 3H-inulin Kp values and indicated that inulin occupied a smaller space than urea, which for the majority of tissues corresponded to the extracellular space.

conclusionsThe Kp(corr) values for 14C-urea and Kp for 3H-inulin were consistent with total tissue water and extracellular space for the majority of tissues studied, indicating their suitability as marker compounds for checking the viability of this in vitro method for estimating tissue distribution.
