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

objectivesTo investigate the effects of sodium ascorbate (SA) (5-3125 μM) and a combination of SA and Trolox (25 and 125 μM) on oxidative changes generated in red blood cells (RBCs) followed by up to 20 days refrigerated storage.

methodsRBCs were isolated from CPD-preserved human blood. Percentage of hemolysis and extracellular activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were measured to assess the RBC membrane integrity. Lipid peroxidation (LPO), glutathione (GSH) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) were quantified by thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances, Ellman's reagent and 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) [Formula: see text]-based assay, respectively.

resultsSA failed to reduce the storage-induced hemolysis and RBC membrane permeability. Addition of SA resulted in a concentration-independent LPO inhibition and increased TAC. A combination of SA/Trolox supplemented to the RBC medium significantly inhibited hemolysis, LDH leakage, LPO, GSH depletion and enhanced TAC. DISCUSSION: The effects of vitamin C action are closely concentration-dependent and may be modulated by a variety of compounds (e.g. Hb degradation products) released from RBCs during the prolonged storage, changing its properties from anti- to pro-oxidative. The two different class antioxidants (SA/Trolox) could possibly cooperate to be good potential RBC storage additives ensuring both antiradical and membrane stabilizing protection.
