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

Current knowledge of the disposition kinetics of endogenous metabolites is founded almost entirely on poorly time-resolved experiments in which samples are removed from the body for later, benchtop analysis. Here, in contrast, we describe real-time, seconds-resolved measurements of plasma phenylalanine collected in situ in the body via electrochemical aptamer-based (EAB) sensors, a platform technology that is independent of the reactivity of its targets and thus is generalizable to many. Specifically, using indwelling EAB sensors, we have monitored plasma phenylalanine in live rats with a few micromolar precision and a 12 s temporal resolution, identifying a large-amplitude, few-seconds phase in the animals' metabolic response that had not previously been reported. Using the hundreds of individual measurements that the approach provides from each animal, we also identify inter-subject variability, including statistically significant differences associated with the feeding status. These results highlight the power of in vivo EAB measurements, an advancement that could dramatically impact our understanding of physiology and provide a valuable new tool for the monitoring and treatment of metabolic disorders.
