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

Nucleosides are neuromodulators that have a wide range of biological roles in the brain. In order to better understand the function of nucleosides in the human central nervous system (CNS), we constructed a nucleoside map showing the concentration of various nucleosides and their metabolites using post mortem samples from 61 human brain areas and 4 spinal cord areas. We evaluated in vivo tissue levels of four nucleosides (uridine, inosine, guanosine, and adenosine) and three of their metabolites (uracil, hypoxanthine, and xanthine). The concentrations of nucleosides were unevenly distributed across different brain regions, where the highest levels were found in the cerebral cortex and basal ganglia, whereas the lowest concentrations were located in the locus coeruleus, the zona incerta, the substantia nigra, and the inferior colliculus. The regional differences in nucleoside levels in the CNS may reflect the distinct physiological functions adopted by these compounds in different brain areas.
