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 mechanism by which endosulfan exposure causes cellular dysfunction in experimental animals and humans is not clear. In the present study, we provide experimental evidence in support of the role of oxidative stress in endosulfan toxicity. Using both cell free system and Jurkat cells as in vitro models, we demonstrate that endosulfan can generate oxygen radicals that is inhibitable by superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH). In the cell culture model, oxygen radical generation in response to endosulfan was dose- (0-100 microM) and time-dependent (0-12 h). Two-color flowcytometric analysis showed that endosulfan mediated changes in delta psi(m) and generation of superoxide radicals do occur simultaneously in the affected cell population. It was hypothesized that endosulfan exerts a severe oxidative stress in Jurkat cells and this could be prevented or minimized by an antioxidant. To test this hypothesis, GSH was added exogenously and endosulfan toxicity was evaluated by alamarblue assay. In conclusion, our results demonstrate a role for reactive oxygen species (ROS) in endosulfan toxicity and that supplementation of antioxidants such as GSH may be useful in individuals who are at risk to endosulfan toxicity.
