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

L-Ornithine-L-aspartate (LOLA), a crystalline salt, is used primarily in the management of hepatic encephalopathy. The degree to which it might penetrate the brain, and the effects it might have on metabolism in brain are poorly understood. Here, to investigate the effects of LOLA on brain energy metabolism we incubated brain cortical tissue slices from guinea pig (Cavea porcellus) with the constituent amino acids of LOLA, L-ornithine or L-aspartate, as well as LOLA, in the presence of [1-
