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

A fluorescence microscopy imaging technique was applied to observe the single-cell kinetic changes of intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ(m)) during the early stage of S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO)-induced thymocytes apoptosis. The kinetic features of [Ca(2+)](i) and ΔΨ(m) were quantitatively analyzed and compared by fitting the fluorescence intensity data. The mathematical parameter, inflection point which indicated the time point when [Ca(2+)](i) or ΔΨ(m) changed the most rapidly, was proposed to analyze the fitting curve. The results revealed that the inflection point of [Ca(2+)](i) always appeared prior to that of ΔΨ(m) during apoptosis induced by a certain GSNO concentration. Both the [Ca(2+)](i) and ΔΨ(m) changed in a GSNO concentration-dependent manner. Another parameter, half-max effect point was also employed and displayed the similar results. Such quantitative analyses of real-time observations at the single-cell level are useful for interpreting the sequence of the biological events operating in GSNO-induced thymocyte apoptosis.
