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

introductionVan Krevelen (VK) diagrams provide a promising but uncommon solution to a number of challenges associated with the visualization of metabolomics data. VK diagrams are created by plotting H:C ratios against O:C ratios of the compounds in a chemical mixture.

objectivesThe aim of this manuscript is to present an open-source software tool and reference map that we have developed to make VK diagrams for visualization of metabolomics data.

methodsSoftware was created with a prompt-driven command line user interface and was written using Python 2.7. We empirically derived an accompanying map by plotting where compounds from seven biomolecule types fall within the VK plot space.

resultsWe've created an easy to use, open source software tool named OpenVanKrevelen for making a range of VK diagrams that is available on GitHub: https://github.com/HegemanLab/VanKrevelenLocal . The empirical mapping approach has produced several improvements from previously published maps.

conclusionsOpenVanKrevelen provides the metabolomics community with access to a new tool for visualization of complex metabolomics datasets.
