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

Vitamin A, beyond its biological role, is an alternative choice in treating some life threatening pathologies, for instance leukemia and immunodeficiency. On the other hand, vitamin A therapy at moderate to high doses has caused concern among public health researchers due to the toxicological aspect resulting from such habit. It has been described hepatotoxicity, cognitive disturbances and increased mortality rates among subjects ingesting increased levels of vitamin A daily. Then, based on the previously reported data, we investigated here receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) immunocontent and oxidative damage levels in cerebral cortex of vitamin A-treated rats at clinical doses (1,000-9,000 IU/kg day(-1)). RAGE immunocontent, as well as oxidative damage levels, were observed increased in cerebral cortex of vitamin A-treated rats. Whether increased RAGE levels exert negative effects during vitamin A supplementation it remains to be investigated, but it is very likely that deleterious consequences may arise from such alteration.
