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

Peroxides contaminating parenteral nutrition (PN) limit the use of methionine as a precursor of cysteine. Thus, PN causes a cysteine deficiency, characterized by low levels of glutathione, the main molecule used in peroxide detoxification, and limited growth in individuals receiving long-term PN compared to the average population. We hypothesize that glutathione supplementation in PN can be used as a pro-cysteine that improves glutathione levels and protein synthesis and reduces oxidative stress caused by PN. One-month-old guinea pigs (7-8 per group) were used to compare glutathione-enriched to a non-enriched PN, animals on enteral nutrition were used as a reference. PN: Dextrose, amino acids (Primene), lipid emulsion (Intralipid), multivitamins, electrolytes; five-day infusion. Glutathione (GSH, GSSG, redox potential) and the incorporation of radioactive leucine into the protein fraction (protein synthesis index) were measured in the blood, lungs, liver, and gastrocnemius muscle. Data were analysed by ANOVA;
