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

Cold atmospheric pressure plasma is an attractive new research area in clinical trials to treat skin diseases. However, the principles of plasma modification of biomolecules in aqueous solutions remain elusive. It is intriguing how reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) produced by plasma interact on a molecular level in a biological environment. Previously, we identified the chemical effects of dielectric barrier discharges (DBD) on the glutathione (GSH) and glutathione disulphide (GSSG) molecules as the most important redox pair in organisms responsible for detoxification of intracellular reactive species. However, in the human body there are also present redox-active metals such as iron, which is the most abundant transition metal in healthy humans. In the present study, the time-dependent chemical modifications on GSH and GSSG in the presence of iron(II) and iron(III) complexes caused by a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) under ambient conditions were investigated by IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). HPLC chromatograms revealed one clean peak after treatment of both GSH and GSSH with the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma, which corresponded to glutathione sulfonic acid GSO
