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

aimIn this study the effects of radiation therapy (RT) on serum oxidant/antioxidant status in breast cancer patients and the impact of age, BMI and clinical stage of the disease on the aforementioned variables were investigated.

backgroundRT that is used for cancer treatment is dependent on the production of reactive oxygen species. MATERIALS AND

methodsEighty patients with breast cancer participated in this study and received RT at a dose of 50 Gy for 5 weeks. Blood samples were obtained in one day before and after the end of RT. Serum status of malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant status (TAS), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were analyzed by spectrophotometry or ELISA and selenium (Se) level were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometry. Paired t-test was used for comparing pre and post radiotherapy data.

resultsBefore and after the radiotherapy, a significant increase in MDA level was observed, while a significant decrease in GPx activity, SOD, TAS and Se levels were found (p < 0.05). The level of the CAT enzyme had no significant changes (p = 0.568). The results showed some changes in the status of TAS, SOD and GPx which are associated with age, BMI and clinical stage of the disease.

conclusionIt seems that RT would have the potential to cause variations in the status of antioxidant/oxidant system. Although, some changes in variables were observed by sub-classification of the age, BMI and the disease stage, but it seems that these changes are not necessarily dependent to them.
