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

Our study was designed to clarify the role of antioxidant enzymes in the rat von Ebner gland during acute nickel toxicity. After treatment with nickel acetate, we monitored ultrastructural alterations in acinar and ductal cells, immunohistochemical staining for glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione S-transferases (GST mu and GST pi), and immunoreactivity for malondialdehyde (MDA). Immunoreactivity for MDA was present only in the acinar cells, and it was enhanced at 3 h after Ni treatment. In contrast, immunoreactivities for GPx and GSTs did not change in acinar cells but significantly increased in ductal cells after Ni treatment. Cytoplasmic vacuoles increased in acinar cells at 3 h after Ni treatment, but they almost completely disappeared at 24 h. No morphological changes were observed in taste bud cells from Ni-treated rats. Because lipid peroxidation, as monitored by immunoreactivity for MDA, was only transiently increased in the acinar cells, the enhanced antioxidant enzyme immunoreactivity in ductal cells of the von Ebner gland plays a crucial role in the self-defense system against nickel toxicity in the rat oral cavity.
