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

backgroundDysregulation of adipokines is considered a key mechanism of chronic inflammation in metabolic syndrome. Some adipokines affect food intake by crossing the blood/brain barrier. The adipokine chemerin is associated with metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases and immune response. Little is known about chemerin's presence in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and its ability to cross the blood/CSF barrier.

methodsWe quantified chemerin levels in paired serum and CSF samples of 390 patients with different neurological diagnoses via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Correlation analyses of serum and CSF chemerin levels with anthropometric, serum and CSF routine parameters were performed.

resultsOverweight patients exhibited higher chemerin levels in serum and CSF. Chemerin CSF levels were higher in men. Chemerin levels in serum were associated with BMI (body mass index) and CRP (C-reactive protein). Chemerin levels in CSF were associated with age. Neurological diseases affected chemerin levels in CSF. The chemerin CSF/serum ratio was calculated as 96.3 ± 36.8 × 10

conclusionsOur data present a basis for the development of standard values for chemerin quantities in CSF. CSF chemerin levels are differentially regulated in neurological diseases and affected by BMI and sex. Chemerin is able to cross the blood/CSF barrier under physiological and pathophysiological conditions.
