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

The ketogenic diet (KD) is a low-carbohydrate and high-fat diet that gains increasing popularity in the treatment of numerous diseases, including epilepsy, brain cancers, type 2 diabetes and various metabolic syndromes. Although KD is effective in the treatment of mentioned medical conditions, it is unfortunately not without side effects. The most frequently occurring undesired outcomes of this diet are nutrient deficiencies, the formation of kidney stones, loss of bone mineral density, increased LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol levels and hormonal disturbances. Both the diet itself and the mentioned adverse effects can influence the elemental composition and homeostasis of internal organs. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the elemental abnormalities that appear in the liver, kidney, and spleen of rats subjected to long-term KD treatment. The investigation was conducted separately on males and females to determine if observed changes in the elemental composition of organs are gender-dependent. To measure the concentration of P, S, K, Ca, Fe, Cu, Zn and Se in the tissues the method of the total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF) was utilized. The obtained results revealed numerous elemental abnormalities in the organs of animals fed a high-fat diet. Only some of them can be explained by the differences in the composition and intake of the ketogenic and standard diets. Furthermore, in many cases, the observed anomalies differed between male and female rats.
