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

backgroundThis study was conducted to measure the concentration of branched chain amino acid (BCAA) in different species and detect the expression pattern of the liver

methodsWe measured the concentration of BCAA in GK rats, induced T2D cynomolgus monkeys and T2D humans by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, and used real-time quantitative PCR to analyze the gene expression of

resultsIn this study, we showed that GK rat BCAA concentrations were significantly reduced at 4 and 8 weeks (

conclusionsOur results showed that BCAA concentrations changed at different times and by different amounts in different species and during different periods of T2D progress, and the significant changes of BCAA concentration in the three species indicated that BCAA might participate in the progress of T2D. The results suggested that the increased expression of
