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

We investigated the effects of colchicine on oxidative stress and Ca²+ release in serum and polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNs) of Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) patients with attack, remission and unremission periods. Eighteen FMF patients and six age-matched healthy subjects in four groups were used. The first group was a control. The second group included patients with active FMF. The third and fourth groups were patients with remission and unremission, respectively. Colchicine (1.5 mg/day) was given to the third and fourth groups for 1 month. PMN cells, serum lipid peroxidation and intracellular Ca²+-release levels in the attack and unremission groups were higher than in those in controls, although they were lower in the remission group than in the attack group. Serum vitamin E and β-carotene concentrations were higher in the remission group than in the control and attack groups. However, PMN, serum lipid peroxidation and Ca²+-release levels were further increased in the unremission group compared to the attack group. Glutathione peroxidase, reduced glutathione and vitamin A values in the four groups did not change by FMF and colchicine. In conclusion, we observed that colchicine induced protective effects on oxidative stress by modulating vitamin E, β-carotene and Ca²+-release levels in FMF patients with a remission period.
