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

The certification of death due to mechanical asphyxia has been a complex problem in some cases. The use of protein expression to identify mechanical asphyxia death has recently attracted attention. Asphyxia creates an extremely hypoxic environment for cells, which should reactivate the mitochondria in the cells. Cyto c and AIF, located in the mitochondria, are transferred to the cytoplasm under hypoxia to trigger the apoptotic process. Based this phenomenon, we designed the animal asphyxia model and cell hypoxia model to examine whether Cyto c and AIF are expressed in the cytoplasm, and we used human samples to verify the results. We found that the two proteins were detectably expressed in the cytoplasm of mechanical asphyxia groups and were hardly detected in the cytoplasm of other groups. This is a promising finding that may shed light on the precise mechanisms associated with mechanical asphyxia.
