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
An innovative method for the quantification of corticosterone in the urine of C57BL/6J mice by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry was developed. Unconjugated and glucuronidated corticosterone was detected in the urine samples using enzymatic hydrolysis following liquid-liquid extraction. After optimization of the extraction protocol and LC-MS/MS parameters, we performed a validation study using a representative urine pool of C57BL/6J and Naval Medical Research Institute mice. The method shows good linearity (1-5000 fmol/µL) and the calculated limit of quantification amounts to 0.823 fmol/µL. Both intra-day and inter-day variation was ≤10%, while their recoveries amounted to 90.4-110.6% and 99.8%, respectively. Twenty-four hour urine collection of C57BL/6J mice restrained in two different metabolic cage types for two times was used to test the validated method. To control the hydration level of mice, the corticosterone concentration in their urine was normalized to urinary creatinine concentration. Our LC-MS/MS method represents a highly specific analytical tool for the quantification of corticosterone levels in urine samples, assisting in non-invasive monitoring of acute stress levels in laboratory mice.
