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

A Comment to our recent paper that described a budget for brain metabolic water production claimed that all ATP produced by oxidation of glucose is consumed by hydrolysis, and that the net calculated production of metabolic water is equal to that obtained by combustion of glucose. However, ATP is synthesized and consumed by enzymatic reactions that do not involve water in the mechanism. Not all ATP consumed is hydrolyzed.
