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

objectivesWe examined whether a single exposure of rats to water-immersion restraint stress (WIRS) induces oxidative stress in the thymus and spleen.

methodsVitamin E, ascorbic acid, reduced glutathione (GSH), and lipid peroxide (LPO) were assayed in the thymus and spleen of rats with and without 6 hours of WIRS.

resultsIn unstressed rats, vitamin E, ascorbic acid, GSH, and LPO levels were higher in the thymus than in the spleen. Thymic ascorbic acid level was lower in stressed rats than in unstressed rats. Splenic ascorbic acid level was similar in both groups. Thymic and splenic GSH levels were lower in stressed rats than in unstressed rats but the reduced amount of GSH was lower in the spleen than in the thymus. Thymic vitamin E level was lower in stressed than in unstressed rats. Splenic vitamin E level was higher in stressed rats than in unstressed rats. Thymic and splenic LPO levels were higher in stressed rats than in unstressed rats but the increased amount of LPO was higher in the thymus than in the spleen.

conclusionIt is indicated that a single expose of rats to WIRS induces oxidative stress more severely in the thymus than in the spleen.
