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

backgroundHydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) is a common reactive oxygen intermediate generated by various forms of oxidative stress.

aimThe aim of this study was to investigate the DNA damage capacity of H(2)O(2) in HepG2 cells.

methodsCells were treated with H(2)O(2) at concentrations of 25 µM or 50 µM for 5 min, 30 min, 40 min, 1 h, or 24 h in parallel. The extent of DNA damage was assessed by the comet assay.

resultsCompared to the control, DNA damage by 25 and 50 µM H(2)O(2) increased significantly with increasing incubation time up to 1 h, but it was not increased at 24 h.

conclusionsOur findings confirm that H(2)O(2) is a typical DNA damage-inducing agent and thus is a good model system to study the effects of oxidative stress. DNA damage in HepG2 cells increased significantly with H(2)O(2) concentration and time of incubation but later decreased likely due to DNA repair mechanisms and antioxidant enzymes.
