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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesHepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a severe neurological complication of acute liver failure (ALF) characterized by the accumulation of neurotoxic metabolites and impaired cerebral function. We aimed to examine the correlation between HE severity and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker levels in a rat model of ALF induced by subtotal hepatectomy.

methodsMale Wistar rats underwent 92% hepatectomy and were monitored for neurological impairment via a standardized HE score. At twenty-four hours post surgery, CSF and blood were collected for biochemical analysis.

resultsWe found a significant positive correlation between neurological severity and CSF levels of glutamine (r = 0.929,

conclusionsThese findings underscore the potential of glutamine and albumin in CSF as key biomarkers for assessing neurological severity in ALF patients.
