Oxygen free radicals and redox biology of organelles.
Review in Histochemistry and cell biology, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 63 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
The presence and supposed roles of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were reported in literature in a myriad of instances. However, the breadth and depth of their involvement in cellular physiology and pathology, as well as their relationship to the redox environment can only be guessed from specialized reports. Whatever their circumstances of formation or consequences, ROS seem to be conspicuous components of intracellular milieu. We sought to verify this assertion, by collecting the available evidence derived from the most recent publications in the biomedical field. Unlike other reviews with similar objectives, we centered our analysis on the subcellular compartments, namely on organelles, grouped according to their major functions. Thus, plasma membrane is a major source of ROS through NAD(P)H oxidases located on either side. Enzymes of the same class displaying low activity, as well as their components, are also present free in cytoplasm, regulating the actin cytoskeleton and cell motility. Mitochondria can be a major source of ROS, mainly in processes leading to apoptosis. The protein synthetic pathway (endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus), including the nucleus, as well as protein turnover, are all exquisitely sensitive to ROS-related redox conditions. The same applies to the degradation pathways represented by lysosomes and peroxisomes. Therefore, ROS cannot be perceived anymore as a mere harmful consequence of external factors, or byproducts of altered cellular metabolism. This may explain why the indiscriminate use of anti-oxidants did not produce the expected "beneficial" results in many medical applications attempted so far, underlying the need for a deeper apprehension of the biological roles of ROS, particularly in the context of the higher cellular order of organelles.
