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

purposeTo evaluate the feasibility of using a clinical magnetic resonance (MR) system and MR spectroscopy (MRS) to measure glucose concentration changes in the human hypothalamus, a structure central to whole-body glucose regulation. SUBJECTS AND

methodsA time series of MR spectra (semi-LASER, TE = 28 msec), localized to the bilateral hypothalamus (∼1.6 ml) were obtained at 3T in six healthy subjects at baseline (euglycemia) and during a ∼65-70-minute-long hyperglycemic clamp in 11-minute blocks with interleaved T

resultsSpectral quality allowed quantification of [Glc+Tau] (sum reported due to high negative correlation between these metabolites) with CRLB <25% in 35/36 timepoints during hyperglycemia. Increased [Glc+Tau] was observed with hyperglycemia in all subjects, but most reliably in those with plasma glucose targets ≥300 mg/dl. For these subjects, [Glc+Tau]

conclusionIt is feasible to measure glucose concentration changes in the human hypothalamus using a standard 3T scanner and a short-echo semi-LASER sequence by utilizing retrospective motion tracking, CSF correction, predetermined quality acceptance criteria, and hyperglycemic blood glucose levels ≥300 mg/dl.
