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

backgroundMultiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system. Some environmental factors, such as

methodsThe present case-control study was conducted on 97 patients with MS and 95 controls. The two groups had no significant difference in age and gender (

resultsThe median serum HPIA level was significantly lower in MS cases than in controls. Furthermore, the median consumption of glutamic acid, arginine, serine, aspartic acid, alanine, proline, and caffeine was significantly lower in MS cases than in controls. A significant positive correlation was found between the levels of linoleic acid, lactose, Ca, molybdenum, galactose, leucine, and valine, and the level of HPIA in controls.

conclusionOur study results demonstrated that some dietary nutrients had correlations with MS and HPI. Therefore, professionals from multiple disciplines must find which foods contain these dietary nutrients in future studies.
