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 effect of aglycaemic hypoxia (AH) on the activity of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes was measured in superfused adult cortical brain slices. After 15 min of AH the activity of complex II-III was significantly reduced (by 45%) with no change in complex I or IV. Following 30 min of reperfusion the activities of complex II-III and IV were significantly reduced (by 45% and 20% respectively). These reductions in enzyme activity were abolished by removing the external calcium or by the addition of N omega-nitro-L-arginine (LNNA) or an analogue of superoxide dismutase (SOD) manganese [III] tetrakis 4-benzoic acid porphyrin (Mn-TBAP). These data suggest that a reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as peroxynitrite is involved in the reduction of mitochondrial complex activities following AH.
