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

The naturally antioxidant and coenzyme, alpha-lipoic acid (α-LA), has gained considerable attention regarding different functions and therapeutically effective in treating oxidative stress-associated diseases in the human body. This study was designed to examine the protective effect of α-LA against H2O2-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in human lymphoid cells. Human peripheral blood lymphocytes were preincubated with α-LA and then exposed to H2O2. After that, the viability of the cells, rate of apoptosis, oxidative stress biomarkers such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and level of lipid peroxidation (LPO), and also tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were studied. Pretreatment of lymphocytes with α-LA, dramatically enhanced viability of the cells and decreased apoptosis. Investigation of caspases gives a clear picture of the mechanism by which α-LA decreases ROS and causes a reduction in apoptosis through caspase-9-dependent mitochondrial pathway. Furthermore, α-LA dose dependently decreased oxidative stress by a reduction in level of LPO, and the dose of 1000 µM indicates a significant decrease (p < 0.01) in TNF-α level. Collectively, the present data show that α-LA is an ideal compound which has profound protective effects on oxidation, inflammation, and apoptosis. As a result, α-LA may indicate a new way toward the development of antioxidant therapy.
