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

Growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) is an established marker of oxidative stress and a general stress-response mitokines. In this study, we aim to investigate the association of GDF-15 with the metabolic signature of gut and mitochondrial activity in HF and ageing population. A total of 25 HF (67.9 ± 10.0 years) and 29 age-matched healthy participants (HPs) (67.8 ± 11.1 years) were recruited and underwent detailed body composition assessment via dual X-ray absorptiometry; total fat mass and appendicular lean soft tissue index (ALSTI/body mass index (BMI)) were calculated. Utilizing semi-targeted Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry on fasting plasma, a panel of gut microbial-derived (e.g., hippuric acid, indole derivatives, and sarcosine) and tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolites was identified. Results showed higher GDF-15 tertiles were associated with greater HF prevalence, fat mass, NT-proBNP, and TNF-α (
