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.

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.

Abstract

Metabolic profiling, metabolomic and metabonomic studies require robust study protocols for any large-scale comparisons and evaluations. Detailed methods for solution-state NMR spectroscopy have been summarized in an earlier protocol. This protocol details the analysis of intact tissue samples by means of high-resolution magic-angle-spinning (HR-MAS) NMR spectroscopy and we provide a detailed description of sample collection, preparation and analysis. Described here are (1)H NMR spectroscopic techniques such as the standard one-dimensional, relaxation-edited, diffusion-edited and two-dimensional J-resolved pulse experiments, as well as one-dimensional (31)P NMR spectroscopy. These are used to monitor different groups of metabolites, e.g., sugars, amino acids and osmolytes as well as larger molecules such as lipids, non-invasively. Through the use of NMR-based diffusion coefficient and relaxation times measurements, information on molecular compartmentation and mobility can be gleaned. The NMR methods are often combined with statistical analysis for further metabonomics analysis and biomarker identification. The standard acquisition time per sample is 8-10 min for a simple one-dimensional (1)H NMR spectrum, giving access to metabolite information while retaining tissue integrity and hence allowing direct comparison with histopathology and MRI/MRS findings or the evaluation together with biofluid metabolic-profiling data.
