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

To address whether adult rat ventricular cardiomyocytes (ARVCs) exposed to oxidant stress die via apoptosis (secondarily by necrosis) or primarily by necrosis, we exposed ARVCs to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2; 0.1-100 microM) for up to 24 h and then compared them with isoproterenol-induced apoptotic and Triton X-induced necrotic controls. Cellular shrinkage preceded plasma membrane disruption, reflected by trypan blue uptake in ARVCs exposed to lower concentrations of H2O2 (<1 microM; an apoptotic pattern), but the order was reversed in cells exposed to higher concentrations of H2O2 (>1 microM; a necrotic pattern). DNA fragmentation, caspase-3 activation, mitochondrial membrane potential preservation, and ATP preservation were all apparent in ARVCs treated with low H2O2 (0.5 microM), but not in those treated with high H2O2 (10 microM). In addition, electron microscopy revealed unique morphology in H2O2-treated ARVCs; i.e., the nuclei had a homogeneous ground glass-like appearance that was never accompanied by chromatin condensation. Apparently, high concentrations of H2O2 caused primary necrosis in ARVCs, whereas low concentrations induced biochemically comparable apoptosis, although the latter did not satisfy the morphological criteria of apoptosis. These findings caution against the use of oxidant stress, H2O2 in particular, as an inducer of apoptosis in ARVCs.
