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

aimParacetamol is a well-tolerated antipyretic widely used in severe malaria management. The study aimed to develop and validate a rapid LC-MS/MS assay to quantify paracetamol in plasma from patients with severe malaria. MATERIALS &

methodsPlasma sample was precipitated by organic solvent containing isotope-labeled paracetamol internal standard. Supernatant was isolated, diluted with water, followed by LC-MS/MS analysis.

resultsPlasma samples were extracted and assayed in less than 5.5 min. The assay response was linear (0.125-50 mg/l) with total intra- and interassay imprecision of <1.4%, which were considerably lower than most published reports.

conclusionWe developed, validated and applied a rapid and small volume LC-MS/MS assay with high precision and accuracy for plasma paracetamol quantitation in 989 samples from 62 patients with severe malaria. The simple and high-throughput quality could facilitate assay automation for future clinical studies.
