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

Pegmolesatide is a novel synthetic erythropoietin-mimetic agent that binds to and activates the erythropoietin receptor (EPOR), thereby stimulating erythropoiesis. Owing to its erythropoiesis-stimulating activity, it has been included in the latest World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List as an erythropoietin receptor agonist (S2.1.1). The current analytical approach for pegmolesatide in doping analysis mainly relies on bottom-up nano-liquid chromatography-high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) in serum. Although accurate and sensitive, this approach involves extensive sample preparation and time-consuming LC analysis, which limits its suitability for high-throughput initial testing procedure (ITP). In this study, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), termed the EPOR-anti-PEG ELISA, was developed as a screening method for pegmolesatide in urine and serum. The assay employs EPOR as the capture reagent to enrich pegmolesatide, followed by detection of its polyethylene glycol (PEG) moiety using the anti-PEG monoclonal antibody RM105. Method validation included assessment of selectivity, limit of detection (LOD), dynamic range, reliability, and carryover. Under optimized conditions, the assay showed an LOD of 1 ng/mL in urine, with an adjusted OD
