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

We here employed a model animal of Caenorhabditis elegans to perform toxicity assessment of original surface water samples collected from Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) in the quiet season in Wanzhou, Chongqing. Using some sublethal endpoints, including lifespan, body length, locomotion behavior, brood size, and intestinal reactive oxygen species (ROS) induction, we found that the examined five original surface water samples could not cause toxicity on wild-type nematodes. Nevertheless, the surface water sample collected from backwater area induced the significant increase in expressions of genes (sod-2 and sod-3) encoding Mn-SODs in wild-type nematodes. Among the examined five original surface water samples, exposure to the original surface water sample collected from backwater area could further cause the toxicity in decreasing locomotion behavior and in inducing intestinal ROS production in sod-3 mutant nematodes. Moreover, the solid phase of surface water sample collected from backwater area might mainly contribute to the observed toxicity in sod-3 mutant nematodes. Our results are helpful for understanding the potential effects of surface water in the TGR region in the quiet season on environmental organisms.
