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

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is an essential cofactor in hundreds of cellular processes. Genetic disruption of NAD de novo synthesis causes congenital NAD deficiency disorder (CNDD), characterized by multiple congenital malformations or death in utero. Patient outcomes are highly variable, likely due to differences in the availability of maternal NAD precursors vitamin B3 and tryptophan to the embryo and its extraembryonic tissues. Here, maternal plasma and yolk sac NAD metabolomes, embryonic NAD levels, and pregnancy outcomes were quantified in a CNDD mouse model to determine how maternal circulatory NAD precursor provision affects pregnancy outcome and to identify metabolic markers of CNDD risk. Maternal levels of nicotinamide positively correlated with embryonic NAD levels, highlighting its central role for embryonic NAD metabolism. Levels of nicotinamide-derived excretion metabolites were the best predictors of adverse pregnancy outcome. NAD metabolomic analysis of pregnant women confirmed the relationship between dietary NAD precursor intake and circulatory nicotinamide and derived excretion product levels seen in mice, as women taking vitamin B3 supplements had elevated levels. Furthermore, mouse embryos with genetic disruption of NAD de novo synthesis (Haao
