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

Astrocytes play essential roles in supporting neuronal function, particularly through the regulation of brain energy metabolism. In response to physiological and pathological stimuli, astrocytes dynamically adjust their metabolic pathways and energy output. Here, we present a protocol for metabolite extraction and sample preparation from primary astrocytes for mass spectrometry analysis. We describe steps for integrating astrocyte culture and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) metabolite analysis to enable reproducible profiling of astrocytic energy metabolism under different experimental conditions. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Chang et al.
