Neurospecific Molecules Measured in Periphery in Humans: How Do They Correlate with the Brain Levels? A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in International journal of molecular sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
Human brain state is usually estimated by brain-specific substances in peripheral tissues, but, for most analytes, a concordance between their content in the brain and periphery is unclear. In this systematic review, we summarized the investigated correlations in humans. PubMed was searched up to June 2022. We included studies measuring the same endogenous neurospecific analytes in the central nervous system and periphery in the same subjects. Not eligible were studies of cerebrospinal fluid, with significant blood-brain barrier disruption, of molecules with well-established blood-periphery concordance or measured in brain tumors. Seventeen studies were eligible. Four studies did not report on correlation and four revealed no significant correlation. Four molecules were examined twice. For BDNF, there was no correlation in both studies. For phenylalanine, glutamine, and glutamate, results were contradictory. Strong correlations were found for free tryptophan (
