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

Autoxidation is an autocatalytic free-radical chain reaction responsible for the oxidative destruction of organic molecules in biological cells, foods, plastics, petrochemicals, fuels, and the environment. In cellular membranes, lipid autoxidation (peroxidation) is linked with oxidative stress, age-related diseases, and cancers. The established mechanism of autoxidation proceeds via H-atom abstraction through a cyclic network of peroxy-hydroperoxide-mediated free-radical chain reactions. For a series of model unsaturated lipids, we present evidence for an autoxidation mechanism, initiated by hydroxyl radical (OH) addition to C=C bonds and propagated by chain reactions involving Criegee intermediates (CIs). This mechanism leads to unexpectedly rapid autoxidation even in the presence of water, implying that as reactive intermediates, CI could play a much more prominent role in chemistries beyond the atmosphere.
