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

Ketogenic diets show promise in treating a range of serious illnesses, yet their clinical utility is often hindered by poor adherence and difficulty achieving targeted ketone levels. Recommendations for patients pursuing ketogenic diets provide detailed dietary guidance but largely neglect the potential role of exercise on ketone levels. In a case study of a glioblastoma patient following a ketogenic diet, we present data suggesting that intensity of exercise may predict ketone levels above and beyond energy expended through exercise, and we propose a possible mechanism for this observed association. It is our hope that this case study will highlight the need for further research investigating how intense exercise in particular may influence ketone levels for patients on therapeutic ketogenic diets, potentially enabling patients to achieve higher ketone levels or allowing ketosis on more liberal diets.
