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

Octodrine (2-amino-6-methylheptane; DMHA) is a sympathomimetic stimulant detected in sports-performance and weight-loss supplements despite limited toxicological characterization and regulatory concerns. Here, we used 7-day-post-fertilization zebrafish larvae to characterize the acute cardiac, neurobehavioral, and transcriptional effects of octodrine after 2 h of exposure. Cardiac responses were biphasic: 5 µM octodrine significantly increased atrial and ventricular rates, whereas concentrations ≥ 150 µM produced progressive cardiac depression and higher concentrations disrupted atrioventricular conduction. At 450 µM, all larvae showed complete absence of detectable cardiac activity; mortality was not independently assessed. Modelling of the inhibitory phase yielded IC
