Decreased Serum Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) in Individuals with Anxiety Increases After Zinc Therapy.
Article in Nutrition and metabolic insights, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimTo assess serum Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) levels in individuals with anxiety and to test the hypothesis that there is a relationship between HGF levels and zinc therapy. SUBJECTS AND
methodsSerum from 19 individuals with anxiety and 19 controls were tested for serum HGF using ELISAs. HGF serum concentration in individuals with anxiety before zinc and anti-oxidant therapy was compared to levels after therapy. Zinc and copper levels in anxiety patients, pre and post therapy, were also measured and compared.
resultsIndividuals with anxiety had significantly lower serum levels of HGF compared to controls (P = 0.0005). HGF concentration rose significantly (normalized) after zinc therapy (P = 0.04) and zinc levels increased significantly in these same patients (P = 0.0002). DISCUSSION: These results suggest an association between HGF serum levels and individuals with anxiety and demonstrate that zinc therapy is associated with increasing HGF levels.
