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

backgroundSingle-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have many potential applications in various fields. Especially, the unique physicochemical properties make them as the prime candidates for applications in biomedical fields. However, biocompatibility of SWCNTs has been a major concern for their applications. In the study, biocompatibility of oxidized SWCNTs (O-SWCNTs) was assessed using Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) as a model organism.

resultsCell proliferation and viability were significantly changed after exposure to O-SWCNTs (188.2 and 376.4 mg/L) for 24 h. O-SWCNTs were internalized in cells and distributed in cytoplasm, vesicles, lysosomes and cell nucleus. The average O-SWCNTs contents in S. cerevisiae were ranged from 0.18 to 4.82 mg/g during the exposure from 0 to 24 h, and the maximum content was reached at 18 h after exposure. Both penetration and endocytosis were involved in the internalization of O-SWCNTs in S. cerevisiae, and endocytosis was the main pathway. Cellular structures and morphology were changed after exposure to O-SWCNTs, such as undulating appearance at the membrane, shrinking of the cytosol, increased numbers of lipid droplets and disruption of vacuoles. ROS and antioxidant enzymes activities were observably changed following exposure. For the treatment at 376.4 mg/L, 20.8% of the total cells was undergone apoptosis. Decrease of mitochondrial transmembrane potential and leakage of cytochrome c from mitochondria were observed after exposure. Moreover, expression levels of apoptosis-related genes were significantly increased.

conclusionsO-SWCNTs can internalize in S. cerevisiae cells via direct penetration and endocytosis, and distribute in cytoplasm, vesicles, lysosomes and cell nucleus. Besides, O-SWCNTs (188.2 and 376.4 mg/L) can induce apoptosis in S. cerevisiae cells, and oxidative stress is involved in activation of the mitochondria-dependent apoptotic pathway.
