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

In 1996, based on the ideas of Max Kleiber, we proposed a respirometric method in this journal for the quantitative determination of the roles of protein, lipid and carbohydrate as substrates for fueling aerobic metabolism in fish on an instantaneous basis. Here I provide a 30-year retrospective on its performance, explaining how it works, methodological challenges, the applications for which it has been used, its strengths and potential flaws, and the important issues to be addressed going forward. The approach is based on the simultaneous measurement of the rates of O
