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 actual levels of steroid hormones in organs are vital for endocrine, reproductive and neuronal health and disorders. We developed an accurate method to determine the levels of steroid hormones and steroid conjugates in various organs by an efficient preparation using a solid-phase-extraction cartridge. Each steroid was identified by the precursor ion spectra using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and the respective steroids were quantitatively analysed in the selected reaction monitoring mode by liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The data showed that significant levels of testosterone, corticosterone and precursors of both hormones were detected in all organs except liver. The glucuronide conjugates of steroid hormones and the precursors were detected in all organs except liver, but sulfate conjugates of these steroids were observed only in the target organs of the hormones and kidney. Interestingly, these steroids and the conjugates were not observed in the liver except pregnenolone. In conclusion, an accurate determination of tissue steroids was developed using LC-MS analysis. Biosynthesis of steroid hormones from the precursors was estimated even in the target organs, and the delivery of these steroid conjugates was also suggested via the circulation without any significant hepatic participation.
