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

backgroundRestless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common sensory motor neurological disorder that is related to iron-dopamine dysregulation and immune system alteration. We aimed to assess the effects of serum hepcidin, an iron-regulating hormone, in drug-naive RLS patients compared to healthy controls and to evaluate its role in helping to predict clinical improvement after treatment with dopamine agonist.

methodsNonanemic and drug-naive RLS patients (

resultsSerum hepcidin levels exhibited no significant differences between patients with drug-naïve RLS and healthy controls at diagnosis (7.1 ± 2.4 vs. 7.0 ± 3.2 ng/mL,

conclusionsThis study demonstrates the role of hepcidin in evaluating the positive therapeutic response in RLS.
