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 aims to assess clinical characteristics in FD with spleen deficiency syndrome and metabolic perturbations involved in FD progress. We combined metabolic biomarkers and clinical features into a better prediction for FD with Spleen Deficiency syndrome.

methodsA total of 276 people were recruited, including 215 FD patients and 61 healthy control group (HC). The clinical characteristics and gastric emptying rate were compared between spleen deficiency-FD group and non-spleen deficiency-FD. The serum lipids metabonomics analysis was performed to determine the metabolic differences in spleen deficiency-FD group and HC.

resultsThe symptoms of postprandial discomfort in Spleen Deficiency group were more severe (P < 0.05), and delayed gastric emptying was more pronounced (P < 0.05) vs. non-Spleen deficiency. Decreased motilin (OR = 0.990, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.982-0.997) was independent risk factor related to Spleen Deficiency group. We identified 15 metabolites for spleen deficiency group vs. HC, majority of those biomarkers belonged to the glycerophospholipid metabolic pathway. The combination of 15 metabolics could diagnose spleen deficiency-FD, with the AUC of 0.9943, 95% CI 0.9854-1.0000), and the combination of 15 metabolics and motilin could diagnose spleen deficiency-FD, with the AUC of 0.9615, 95% CI 0.9264-9967).

conclusionsThis study provides supportive evidence that Spleen deficiency syndrome was associated with delayed gastric emptying and the glycerophospholipid metabolic pathway was perturbed in FD patients. The combination of metabolic biomarkers and clinical features provided us with new ideas for multidimensional diagnosis of FD.
