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

purposeFluvoxamine (FLV) has been used widely as an antidepressant agent belonging to the group of second-generation selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. However, only one work on the human metabolism of FLV was reported in 1983, examining a human urine specimen, and tentatively identified nine metabolites. Therefore, in the present work, the metabolites of FLV were examined in the liver, bile, and urine from a human cadaver, and the metabolites produced in the human liver microsomes (HLMs) in vitro were also examined.

methodsMetabolites in each matrix were treated altogether in a tube where impurities had been precipitated using acetonitrile. The identification and tentative quantification of metabolites in human specimens and HLMs were performed using liquid chromatography (LC)-high resolution mass spectrometry (MS), LC-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and LC-QTRAP- MS/MS.

resultsEleven new metabolites designated as M1 to M11 were detected from human cadaver specimens and HLMs. M1 was produced after acetylation at the terminal NH

conclusionsTo our knowledge, this is the first report on the existence of eleven new metabolites (M1-M11) of FLV in HLMs, human liver, bile and urine. The present eleven metabolites may be useful for the identification of FLV in human samples both antemortem and postmortem.
