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

purposeCreatine belongs to a buffering system of cellular ATP level and has been reported to display direct antioxidant activity. Aim of this work was to investigate whether creatine treatment could ameliorate the antioxidant response of intestinal cells and limit the oxidative injury induced by anoxia and subsequent reoxygenation.

methodsJejunal and ileal tracts of rat intestine were everted and incubated in vitro under normoxic, anoxic and reoxygenation conditions in the absence and in the presence of 10 mM creatine. (Na+, K+)-ATPase, γ-GT and antioxidant enzymes activities were determined in mucosal homogenate, as well as malondialdehyde production and HSP70 expression.

resultsBoth in jejunum and ileum, creatine treatment increases (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity; γ-GT is unaffected in jejunum but stimulated in ileum. In both tissues, creatine does not alter the antioxidant activities or malondialdehyde level. HSP70 expression is increased only in jejunum. Anoxic conditions stimulate antioxidant activities to a greater extent in jejunum compared to ileum; reoxygenation does not evoke further effects, but enhances malondialdehyde production in both tracts. The protective action of creatine, in reoxygenation, is more marked in jejunum as for its stimulation of antioxidant activities; however, in jejunum, a prooxidant action of creatine is suggested, since malondialdehyde production is enhanced by its presence; on the contrary in ileum, where HSP70 is overexpressed in reoxygenation, peroxidation level is significantly reduced.

conclusionsThe presence of creatine seems to potentiate the defensive response of both tissues, in jejunum by means of cell antioxidant equipment, in ileum by the involvement of HSP70.
