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

The comparative effects of 10-20% coconut oil feeding on fatty acid composition of the main lipid classes of chick plasma have been studied with and without simultaneous treatment with dipyridamole in order to clarify the hypolipidemic role of this drug. Coconut oil drastically increased the percentages of lauric and myristic acids in free fatty acid and triacylglycerol fractions, whereas these changes were less pronounced in phospholipids and cholesterol esters. The percentage of arachidonic acid was higher in plasma phospholipids than in the other fractions and was significantly decreased by coconut oil feeding. Linoleic acid, the main fatty acid of cholesterol esters, was drastically increased by coconut oil feeding. Changes induced by the simultaneous administration of dipyridamole were more pronounced in the phospholipids and cholesterol esters than in the other fractions. The fall observed in linoleic acid levels after dipyridamole treatment may be of interest for a lower production of its derived eicosanoids, especially in plasma phospholipids and cholesterol esters.
