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

This study aimed to investigate the MC-LR induced oxidative injury and apoptosis in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, and the protective effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on these cells. Cell viability was determined by MTT assay after exposure to NAC at various concentrations (0, 1, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 80 mmol/L) alone, or NAC (0, 1 and 5 mmol/L) plus MC-LR (0, 2.5, 5 and 10 μg/ml) for 24 h. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) in CHO cells were measured by DCFH-DA, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) by fluorescence probe JC-1 staining, and apoptosis index determined by Annexin V-PI staining. Results showed, following exposure to NAC alone for 24 h, cell viability remains higher than 80% at 1 and 5 mmol/L. After exposure to NAC at different concentrations plus MC-LR, cell viability increased, ROS decreased, MMP elevated, and apoptosis index reduced to a certain extent. In conclusion, MC-LR may induce the apoptosis of CHO cells by inducing ROS production which is protected by NAC.
