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 compare dynamic thiol/disulfide homeostasis between patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and healthy controls.

methodsThis prospective, case-control study was conducted in the Department of Pulmonary Diseases, Ankara Ataturk Training and Research Hospital, Yildirim Beyazit University, Ankara, Turkey, between August 2016 and August 2017. In total, 50 hospitalized patients with CAP and 35 healthy individuals were enrolled. Patients with comorbidities and smokers were excluded. The thiol/disulfide state was evaluated in each group. Thiol levels (native/total) and % polymorhonuclear leukocytes and C-reactive protein levels association were evaluated in patients with CAP. Results: There was no significant difference between the CAP and control groups in age or gender (both, p greater than 0.05). The disulfide (SS) levels were similar between the 2 groups (p=0.148). The total thiol (TT) and native thiol (SH) levels were significantly lower (all, p=0.001) and the SS/TT levels were significantly higher (p=0.019) in the CAP group compared with the controls. Conclusions: This study showed that the oxidant/antioxidant ratio was shifted to the oxidative side in CAP patients. An abnormal thiol/disulfide state may be an important factor in the pathogenesis and monitoring the treatment response. The thiol resources may use for treatment in CAP and may positively affect the prognosis.
