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
purposeQuantification of olanzapine (OLZ) and its metabolites such as N-desmethylolanzapine (DM-O), 2-hydroxymethylolanzapine (2H-O) and olanzapine N-oxide (NO-O) in five kinds of human body fluids including whole blood by liquid chromatography (LC)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) has been presented; the quantification methods were carefully devised and validated using the matrix-matched calibration and standard addition methods.
methodsOLZ and its three metabolites were extracted from 40 μL each of body fluids by two-step liquid-liquid separations. The samples and reagents were pre-cooled in a container filled with ice for the extraction because of the thermal instability of OLZ and its three metabolites especially in whole blood.
resultsThe limits of quantification (LOQs) of OLZ and 2H-O were 0.05 ng/mL and those of DM-O and NO-O were 0.15 ng/mL in whole blood and urine, respectively. The concentrations of OLZ and its metabolites in heart whole blood, pericardial fluid, stomach contents, bile and urine were determined for two cadavers and those in whole blood and urine for the other two cadavers. The reduction from NO-O to OLZ was observed at 25 ℃ in whole blood in vitro.
conclusionsTo our knowledge, this is the first report on the quantification of metabolites of olanzapine in the authentic human body fluids by LC-MS/MS as well as on the confirmation of in vitro reduction from NO-O to OLZ in whole blood that seems to have induced the quick decrease of NO-O.
