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

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a valuable source for the quantification of soluble, brain-specific biomarkers supporting the diagnosis of some neurological disorders, infectious diseases, and suspected subarachnoid hemorrhage. Given the increasing need to expand the basic knowledge of brain pathophysiology for disease biomarker discovery, we set the goal to quantify bilirubin and biliverdin in human CSF. Their concentrations are expected to reflect the level of brain heme catabolism, a key pathway involved in the biological response to oxidative stress. Here, we present the results of the CSF analysis by a specific and sensitive fluorometric method using the recombinant fusion protein HELP-UnaG (HUG). The concentrations of bilirubin and biliverdin in 50 human CSF samples were in the ranges of 14-340 and 0-66 nM, respectively. This assay can be easily implemented in small-scale laboratories and neurological units for the routine analysis of clinical CSF samples.
