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

We measured 16 nonesterified oxygenated fatty acid derivatives (oxylipids) in plasmas from seven human subjects. Two arterial samples from each subject were analyzed, drawn approximately 2h apart. We observed a marked increase in levels of most oxylipids in the second sample, as high as 470-fold. Between the first and second samples, subjects received approximately 800-1000 IU of heparin to prevent clotting in intravascular catheters. We postulate that heparin activated lipoprotein lipases, which, in turn, released oxylipids from triglycerides and phospholipids in plasma lipoproteins. Some of that lipolysis may have occurred during sample storage. Measurements of nonesterified lipids in human plasma may be distorted if heparin is administered to subjects before blood is drawn and if lipase inhibitors are omitted from stored samples.
