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 (GDF15) is a stress-response protein that conveys cellular distress signals to the brain and activates neural pathways leading to weight loss. GDF15 levels are increased in glucocorticoid deficiency; however, multiple factors may influence its levels in patients with primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI). The objective of this study was to determine circulating GDF15 levels in patients with PAI compared with a control group and to assess their associations with other clinical parameters. We included 37 patients (22 females) with autoimmune PAI and 47 healthy controls. Serum GDF15 levels, together with anthropometrical, hormonal and biochemical parameters, were assessed. Patients with PAI had significantly higher circulating GDF15 levels than controls did (1276.8 ± 952.1 vs. 682.8 ± 270.2 pg/mL,
