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.
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
aimTo evaluate the influence of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) on mouse photoreceptor-derived 661W cell survival and to determine the effect of PD98059, an inhibitor for MEK1 (the direct upstream activator of ERK1/2), and S3I201, a STAT3- specific inhibitor on 661W cell survival after H(2)O(2) exposure.
methodsThe mouse photoreceptor-derived 661W cells were cultured. 661W cells were treated for 12 hours with different concentrations (0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1mmol/L) of H(2)O(2) and cell viability was determined by 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide ) (MTT) assay. 661W cells were treated with different concentrations H(2)O(2) (0, 5, 10, 50, 500, 1000 µmol/L) for 15 minutes or 1mmol/L H(2)O(2) for different time points (0,5,10,15,30 minutes), and p-Tyr705-STAT3, STAT3, Phospho-p44/42 MAPK (Thr202/Tyr204), ERK1/2 were surveyed by immunoblot analysis. After treatment with 50µmol/L PD98059, or S3I201 for 1 hour, the inhibition efficiency of cell signal pathways was analyzed by immunoblot analysis and the effects of inhibitors on cell viability were determined by MTT.
resultsAfter treating with different concentrations of H(2)O(2) for 12 hours, the cell viability of 661W cells decreased in concentration-dependent manner (P<0.05). Moreover, H(2)O(2) induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and STAT3 in 661W cells (P<0.05). After pretreatment with 50µmol/L PD98059 or S3I201 for 1 hour, H(2)O(2)-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2 or STAT3 was suppressed separately (P<0.05). Using PD98059 or S3I201 to inhibit ERK1/2 or STAT3 signal pathway, the cell viability of 661W cells decreased significantly (P<0.05).
conclusionWe demonstrated that the exposure of 661W cells to H(2)O(2) increased the activation of ERK1/2 and STAT3 signal pathways. Activation of these pathways is required for 661W cell survival following oxidant injury.
