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

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder caused by a β globin gene mutation of hemoglobin (HbS). The polymerization of deoxyHbS and its subsequent aggregation (into long fibers) is the primary molecular event which leads to red blood cell (RBC) sickling and ultimately hemolytic anemia. We have recently suggested that HbS oxidative toxicity may also contribute to SCD pathophysiology due to its defective pseudoperoxidase activity. As a consequence, a persistently higher oxidized ferryl heme is formed which irreversibly oxidizes "hotspot" residues (particularly βCys93) causing protein unfolding and subsequent heme loss. In this report we confirmed first, the allosteric effect of a newly developed reagent (di(5-(2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-2-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)disulfide) (TD-1) on oxygen affinity within SS RBCs. There was a considerable left shift in oxygen equilibrium curves (OECs) representing treated SS cells. Under hypoxic conditions, TD-1 treatment of HbS resulted in an approximately 200 s increase in the delay time of HbS polymerization over the untreated HbS control. The effect of TD-1 binding to HbS was also tested on oxidative reactions by incrementally treating HbS with increasing hydrogen peroxide (H
