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

Trace element determination is requested rarely for critically ill patients in Iran, due to the underestimation of the trace element determination by Iranian physicians. The aim was to compare the levels of Zn and Mg in a group of hemodialysis patients and normal individuals. This study shows that trace element determination is helpful for management of hemodialysis patients. Fifty-three hemodialysis patients and 51 control individuals were randomly analyzed for Zn and Mg serum levels. Comparison of before or after dialysis and with normal individuals was done and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves were plotted to evaluate the analytical sensitivity and specificity of Zn and Mg determination. Confidence interval for all statistical methods was 95 %. Zinc serum levels were decreased after hemodialysis insignificantly (
