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

High performance liquid chromatography analyses revealed that glutathione (GSH) and cysteine are two of the major low molecular weight thiol compounds in maize root extracts. Treatment of maize roots to heat shock temperatures of 40 degrees C resulted in a decrease of cysteine levels and an increase of GSH levels. Pulse labeling of maize roots with [(35)S]cysteine showed that the rate of incorporation of (35)S into GSH or glutathione disulfide (GSSG) in heat shocked tissues was twice that in nonheat shocked tissues. In addition, extracts from heat shocked maize, barley, and soybean tissues contained an unidentified low molecular weight compound that increased from 1.2- to 8-fold within 2 hours of heat shock treatment depending on the tissue and plant involved. Our results indicate that during heat shock there is an increase in the activity of the GSH synthetizing capacity in maize root cells. The elevated synthesis of GSH may be related to the cells capacity to cope with heat stress conditions.
