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 α-Klotho is crucial for human health and longevity. However, the relationship between trace elements and α-Klotho levels needs further investigation. We aimed to explore the relationship between serum levels of selenium (Se), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn), and serum α-Klotho levels. We analyzed 2138 samples from the 2011-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, and the weighted linear regression, WQS, and qgcomp models were utilized to evaluate the effects of these elements on serum α-Klotho levels, individually and combined. A negative correlation was observed between serum Cu concentration and serum α-Klotho levels (β =  - 0.128, 95% CI - 0.196, - 0.059), with each increase in Cu concentration grade showing a gradual decrease in serum α-Klotho levels (P
