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.
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
V79 fibroblasts were treated with ultraviolet (UV) C radiation alone as well as in conjunction with chronic oxidative stress. The effects of these treatments on calcium signaling were observed at 30 min post-irradiation. In the absence of extracellular calcium, thrombin released calcium from internal stores of UVC-irradiated V79 fibroblasts even after exposure to neomycin. In neomycin-treated control and chronic oxidative stress cells, no calcium release by thrombin was observed after chelation of external calcium. Calcium release by thrombin from internal stores of UV-irradiated and neomycin-treated cells was completely abolished by pretreatment with N-acetyl cysteine and dexamethasone. Cellular total soluble thiol content which is a good indicator of cellular reduced glutathione (GSH) level was significantly elevated 30 min after ultraviolet radiation, indicating an adaptive response after oxidative stress. Chronic oxidative stress alone resulted in a much smaller increase in GSH but chronic oxidative stress in conjunction with UVC produced a very prominent elevation in GSH levels. Our data suggest that thrombin can cause calcium release from internal stores of ultraviolet-irradiated fibroblasts which is independent of phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate hydrolysis and is directly related to the level of oxidative stress. Involvement of phospholipase A2 and a role for its products as possible mediators of calcium release from intracellular stores, is strongly indicated.
