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

objectivesGlutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are phase-II metabolic enzymes playing important roles in drug metabolism, anti-oxidative stress and anti-aging. Age is a key factor influencing GSTs expression. Thus, age-related changes of 10 GSTs were examined.

methodsLivers from male Sprague-Dawley rats at fetus (-2 d), neonates (1, 7, 14 and 21 d), puberty (28 and 35 d), adulthood (60 and 180 d), and aging (540 and 800 d), were collected and subjected to qPCR analysis. Liver proteins from 14, 28, 60, 180, 540 and 800 d were also extracted for selected protein analysis by Western-blot.

resultsThe expression of GSTA1 and GSTP1 increased over the life span and the expression of GSTA4, GSTO1 and GSTZ1 gradually increased until adulthood, and slightly decreased at 800 days. The expression of GSTM1, GSTM3, GSTT1, GSTT2 and GSTK1 gradually increased until adulthood, but significantly decreased during aging of 540 and 800 days. There is a small peak at 7-14 d for GSTA1, GSTP1 and GSTZ1. The protein expression of GSTA1, GSTM1 and GSTP1 followed the trend of mRNA changes. DISCUSSION: This study characterized three expression patterns of 10 GSTs during development and aging in rat liver, adding to our understanding of anti-aging role of GSTs.
