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 identify potential seminal plasma metabolic markers associated with disease activity in Kallmann syndrome (KS).

methodsWe collected medical records and seminal plasma samples from 17 KS patients and 20 age-matched healthy controls (HC) and performed metabolomics analysis using the UPLC-QTOF-MS method.

resultsPartial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) showed that the metabolomics profile of KS patients was clearly separated from HC. Statistical analysis of the data indicates that there are differential metabolites between KS patients and HC. The main metabolic pathways focus on linoleic acid (LA) metabolism, Glycerophospholipid metabolism.

conclusionsThe seminal plasma metabolomics profile of KS patients has changed. Glycerophospholipids and LA are promising biomarkers for KS diagnosis.
