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

purposeHemostatic agents are used to control hemorrhage and the gingival crevicular fluid for dental applications. In this study; the antimutagenic and antioxidant activities of aluminum chloride (AlCl3), a topical hemostatic agent used especially in the fields of dermatology and dentistry, were determined. To our knowledge, this is the first study that investigates these properties. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe antioxidant activity was determined by DPPH free radical scavenging and β-carotene-linoleic acid bleaching assays. The antimutagenic activity was evaluated with the Ames Salmonella/ microsome mutagenicity test using Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100 strains.

resultsThe total antioxidant activity of AlCl3, determined by β-carotene bleaching assay was found to be 25.59 ± 2.55% and the DPPH scavenging activity of AlCl3 was determined as 17.49 ± 3.07%. AlCl3 showed not any mutagenicity at the tested concentrations by the AMES test used S. typhimurium TA98 and TA100. This drug demonstrated antimutagenic effects at the test concentrations and the strongest antimutagenic activity was observed on 1.25 mg·mL-1/plate concentration of AlCl3.

conclusionAlCl3 showed potent antimutagenic and antioxidant activities and these properties are significant for dentistry and dermatology.
