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

Free oligosaccharides in human milk have many biological functions for infant health. The reducing end of most human milk oligosaccharides is lactose, and caprine milk was reported to contain oligosaccharides structurally similar to those present in human milk. The structures of oligosaccharides were traditionally determined using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy or enzyme digestion followed by various detection methods, e.g., liquid. Mass spectrometry has much higher sensitivity than nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and enzyme digestion. However, conventional mass spectrometry methods only determine part of the structures of oligosaccharides, i.e., compositions and linkage positions. In this study, we used the latest developed mass spectrometry method, namely logically derived sequence tandem mass spectrometry, to determine the complete structures (i.e., composition, linkage positions, anomericities, and stereoisomers) of free neutral trisaccharides in caprine colostrum and mature milk. The high sensitivity of mass spectrometry enables us to discover oligosaccharides of low abundance. Isomers of (Hex)
