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

backgroundThis study aimed to compare the blood metabolism status of newborns with maternal-isolated oligohydramnios (IO) and normal amniotic fluid and investigate the relationship between IO and fetal health.

methodsBlood metabolites of 60 neonates with maternal IO and 60 healthy controls (HC) admitted to The Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University (a discovery set), were analyzed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to identify differential metabolites. Pathway analysis was performed to identify the most enriched metabolic pathways in discovery set. The discriminant metabolites were further verified in an independent set consisting of 50 neonates with maternal IO and 60 HC admitted to The Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital of Huadu.

resultsThe blood metabolic profile of newborns with IO was significantly different from that of HC. Differential metabolites were mainly enriched in Phe, Tyr and Trp biosynthesis. Levels of Phe, Tyr and Trp were significantly lower in IO neonates which found in the discovery set, and were verified in the validation set.

conclusionsThe difference in the blood metabolomics profiles between neonates with maternal IO and HC was mainly in the pathway of Phe, Tyr and Trp biosynthesis. Phe, Tyr, and Trp biosynthesis may be involved in the physiological processes related to the nervous system and digestive system. Continuous attention to changes in blood metabolites in IO neonates and the effect on body growth and development is necessary.
