Changes in the antioxidant content of mononuclear leukocytes from mice with endotoxin-induced oxidative stress.
Article in Molecular and cellular biochemistry, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Oxidative stress, associated with a high production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by immune cells, is involved in the endotoxic shock caused by endotoxin. This oxidative stress is linked to the inability of the immune cells to maintain adequate levels of antioxidants with free radical-scavenging action. Glutathione (GSH) and ascorbic acid (AA) are intracellular and extracellular antioxidants (ROS scavengers) that improve the leukocyte functions. Therefore, in the present work we have determined the reduced GSH and AA content in axillary nodes, spleen, thymus and peritoneal mononuclear leukocytes from BALB/c mice subjected to lethal endotoxic shock produced by intraperitoneal injection of E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 100 mg/kg), at several times (0, 2, 4, 12 and 24 h) after LPS injection. Endotoxic shock decreased the levels of AA in the leukocytes from the three organs as well as the levels of GSH in axillary nodes and spleen cells while it increased the GSH levels in thymus and peritoneum. These results are in agreement with the oxidative stress and the altered function previously observed in those leukocytes, and they suggest that antioxidant administration may be useful for the treatment of endotoxic shock and other oxidative stress situations with altered immunological responses.
