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

Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners with multiple ortho chlorine substituents and their metabolites exist as stable rotational isomers, or atropisomers, that are nonsuperimposable mirror images of each other. Additionally, the oxidation of certain axially prochiral PCBs, such as 2,2',4,6'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (PCB 51) and 2,2',4,5,6'-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB 102), in the meta position of the symmetrically substituted phenyl ring is expected to form axially chiral hydroxylated metabolites (OH-PCBs); however, the formation of chiral OH-PCBs from prochiral PCBs has not been demonstrated experimentally. Here, we investigate if the oxidation of PCB 51 and PCB 102 by different microsomal preparations results in the formation of chiral OH-PCBs. Gas chromatographic analysis revealed that PCB 51 and PCB 102 were metabolized to 2,2',4,6'-tetrachlorobiphenyl-3'-ol (OH-PCB 51) and 2,2',4,5,6'-pentachlorobiphenyl-3'-ol (OH-PCB 102), respectively, by liver microsomes from male rats pretreated with different inducers; untreated male monkeys, guinea pigs, rabbits, and hamsters; and female dogs. The formation of both metabolites was inducer- and species-dependent. Both OH-PCB 51 and OH-PCB 102 were chiral and formed enantioselectively by all microsomal preparations investigated. These findings demonstrate that axially chiral PCB metabolites are formed from axially prochiral PCB congeners, a fact that should be considered when studying the environmental fate, transport, and toxicity of OH-PCBs.
