Monitoring Lipolysis by Sensing Breath Acetone down to Parts-per-Billion.
Article in Small science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
Mobile health technologies can provide information routinely and on demand to manage metabolic diseases (e.g., diabetes and obesity) and optimize their treatment (e.g., exercise or dieting). Most promising is breath acetone monitoring to track lipolysis and complement standard glucose monitoring. Yet, accurate quantification of acetone down to parts-per-billion (ppb) is difficult with compact and mobile devices in the presence of interferants at comparable or higher concentrations. Herein, a low-cost detector that quantifies end-tidal acetone during exercise and rest is presented with excellent bias (25 ppb) and unprecedented precision (169 ppb) in 146 breath samples. It combines a flame-made Pt/Al
