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

Gilthead sea bream larvae (Sparus aurata) aged 47 days post hatching (dph) (11.6-12.8 mg in wet weight) were exposed to several sublethal concentrations of Cd(2+) (0.1, 5 and 10 mg/L) during 6 days in order to investigate the effects of this heavy metal on the expression of selected genes involved in detoxification (metallothionein-mt, glutathione peroxidase 1-gpx1), stress response (heat shock protein 70-hsp70, tumour necrosis factor α-tnfα) and ossification (osteocalcin-oc) processes. For this purpose, specimens of 47 dph were exposed first for 72 h from 0.1 to 20 mg/L of Cd(2+) in order to evaluate the median lethal concentration (LC(50)) for this metal, which was determined at 15.32 mg/L. Considering the results regarding the relative transcript levels of gpx1 and hsp70, Cd(2+) at any of the tested levels (0.1, 5 and 10 mg/L) did not induce oxidative stress in gilthead sea bream larvae, whereas relative transcript levels of mt were increased at 5 and 10 mg/L of Cd(2+) probably to detoxify this metal excess. Relative transcript levels of tnfα were not level dependent and were down-regulated in larvae exposed to 5 and 10 mg/L of Cd(2+). At those concentrations, transcript levels of oc were down-regulated suggesting a disruption in bone mineralization. Results from this study provided insights in some molecular mechanisms underlying Cd(2+)-induced toxicity in fish at early stages of development. This is the first study to show that cadmium contamination can depress oc expression in teleosts.
