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

Zinc is one of the required trace elements in animals, and it serves an important role in biological systems. However, high levels of zinc are poisonous to organisms. So far, there exist conflicting reports about zinc ions-induced mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT). We analyzed the effects of Zn²⁺ on MPT by monitoring mitochondrial swelling with the ultraviolet-visible light absorption spectrum, characterizing the fluidity of the membrane with fluorescence anisotropy, detecting the transmembrane potential (Δψ) with fluorescence intensity, and observing mitochondrial ultrastructure with transmission electron microscopy. Data reveal that low concentrations of zinc ions can trigger MPT while high levels of zinc ions cannot, which implies that zinc ions' toxicity cannot be the result of a single simple mechanism.
