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

The glutathione peroxidase homologous gene (Gpxh gene) in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is up-regulated under oxidative stress conditions. The Gpxh gene showed a remarkably strong and fast induction by the singlet oxygen-generating photosensitizers neutral red, methylene blue and rose Bengal. The Gpxh mRNA levels strongly increased, albeit much more slowly, upon exposure to the organic hydroperoxides tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BOOH) and cumene hydroperoxide. In contrast, the Gpxh mRNA levels were only weakly induced by exposure to the superoxide-generating compound paraquat and by hydrogen peroxide. A comparison of the Gpxh mRNA levels with those of the heat shock protein HSP70A and the iron superoxide dismutase gene showed qualitative and quantitative differences for the three genes under oxidative stress conditions tested. The Gpxh gene is specifically induced by singlet-oxygen photosensitizers and the relative induction by other compounds is much weaker for Gpxh than for the other genes investigated. Using Gpxh promoter fusions with the arylsulfatase reporter gene, we have shown that the Gpxh was transcriptionally up-regulated by singlet-oxygen photosensitizers. It is also shown that the Gpxh promoter contains a region between 104 and 179 bp upstream of the transcription start that is responsible for the mRNA up-regulation upon exposure to 1O2 but not t-BOOH. Within this region a regulatory sequence homologous to the mammalian cAMP response element (CRE) and activator protein 1 (AP-1) binding site was identified within a 16 bp palindrome.
