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

Serine, a non-essential amino acid, has attracted clinical attention because of potential benefit in certain metabolic and neurological disorders. Despite the therapeutic potential, little is known about the pharmacokinetics of l-serine metabolism in humans. Here we present pharmacokinetic data at the time of treatment initiation as well as plasma serine levels during dose escalation from a single individual taking oral l-serine as part of a treatment regimen. Our results show that plasma serine levels rise and fall rapidly after oral l-serine intake, suggesting that the optimal dosing for oral l-serine supplementation is at least three times per day.
