Formation of metabolic water by aerobic glucose oxidation.
Article in Fluids and barriers of the CNS, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
A recent paper suggests that the water originating from the ATP production coupled to aerobic glucose oxidation causes more than a 6 fold increase in the production of metabolic water, compared with the standard textbook description of the oxidation process. However, the authors seem to have forgotten that the simultaneous processes of ATP utilization takes up the same amount of water, which was liberated during the ATP synthesis. Thus, at steady state, there is no net increase in the production of metabolic water.
