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

Quercetin is the most abundant flavonoid with potent antioxidant activities. In the current research, the antioxidant properties of quercetin and quercetin-DNA complex were investigated theoretically and experimentally. Free radical scavenging experiments with thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) and 1,1-diphenyl-2-trinitrophenylhydrazine (DPPH) indicate that quercetin can protect DNA from free radical damage, and the antioxidant activity of the quercetin-DNA complex is stronger than quercetin. Deoxyriboseadenine-quercetin-dimethylphosphinic acid (DA-Q-P) model was extracted from molecular docking. The contributions of hydroxyl groups in quercetin and DA-Q-P model molecules to the antioxidant activity were investigated by computation of bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE) parameter and Fukui function, at B3LYP/6-311++G(2d,2p) level of theory. The results outlined that the hydroxyl groups from the B ring (3'-OH and 4'-OH) have a lower BDE compared with the ones from the A and C rings (3-OH, 5-OH, and 7-OH) and hence define antioxidant activity. The computational result based on Fukui function shows that the B ring is an electrophilic region. The interaction of antioxidant with DNA discovered at the molecular level could provide the structural basis of the antioxidant property of active ingredients in the flavonoids. It is of great significance to study the interaction mechanism between the small drug molecules with DNA at the molecular level.
