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

backgroundMetabolomics could provide valuable insights into hypoxemic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) revealing new disease-associated biochemical derangements. The study aimed to investigate urine metabolic changes in neonates with HIE compared to healthy controls, using targeted liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). PATIENTS AND

methodsIn this prospective, single-center study we enrolled neonates born at ≥ 36 weeks gestation with HIE (HIE group) and healthy controls (control group). We collected urine samples for metabolomic analysis on days one, three, and nine of life.

resultsTwenty-one full-term newborns were studied, 13 in the HIE group and eight in the control group. Six of the affected neonates had moderate/severe HIE and seven mild HIE. Therapeutic hypothermia was applied only in four neonates with moderate/severe HIE. Multivariate and univariate statistical analysis showed a clear separation between the HIE and the control groups. Discriminant metabolites involved pyruvic acid, amino acids, acylcarnitines, inositol, kynurenine, hippuric acid, and vitamins.

conclusionsWe have identified a specific metabolic profile in neonates with HIE, adding to the existing knowledge on the disease biochemistry that may potentially help in biomarker development. HIPPOKRATIA 2017, 21(2): 80-84.
