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

Serum choline, betaine and trimethylamine N-oxide levels are associated with the risk of cardiovascular events. However, no reference procedure for the determination of these compounds in serum has been developed so far. This work describes the combination of IDMS and two-dimensional liquid chromatography operating in multiple heart-cutting mode for the simultaneous quantification of the three compounds in human serum by isotope dilution tandem mass spectrometry. A reversed-phase separation is proposed as the first dimension and coupled with cation exchange chromatography in the second dimension. The online isolation of the single fraction in which the three analytes co-elute from the first dimension enables a rapid chromatographic separation in the second dimension through cation exchange. The method was validated according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines and applied to the analysis of 74 serum samples from patients who had suffered from an ischemic stroke in the past 24 h for further study of these metabolites as potential biomarkers to predict an ischemic stroke patient's prognosis.
