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

Urinary volatolomics offers a noninvasive approach for disease detection and monitoring. Herein we present an improved methodology for global volatolomic profiling. Wide coverage was achieved by utilizing a multiphase sorbent for volatile organic compound (VOC) extraction. A single, midpolar column gas chromatography (GC) assay yielded substantially higher numbers of monitored VOCs compared to our previously reported single-sorbent method. Multidimensional GC (GC×GC) enhanced further biomarker discovery while data analysis was simplified by using a tile-based approach. At the same time, the required urine volume was reduced 5-fold from 2 to 0.4 mL. The applicability of the methodology was demonstrated in a pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cohort where previous findings were confirmed while a series of additional VOCs with diagnostic potential were discovered.
