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

backgroundOxidative stress plays a pivotal role in the progress of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Vitamin C (VC) is the most important antioxidant in plasma. However, the effects of an intravenous administration of high-dose VC and the mechanisms by which it exerts its antioxidant function in an experimental model of SAP have not been determined.

methodsSodium taurocholate was used to induce rat pancreatic injury and AR42J cells injury. After the establishment of SAP model, SAP rat and injured AR42J cells were treated with VC. For the injured AR42J cells, small interfering RNA-mediated knockdown of NRF2 was conducted after VC treatment. The histopathological characteristics, the apoptosis of pancreatic acinar cells, oxidative stress markers and levels of enzymes, biochemical indicators, and inflammatory cytokines were examined

results

conclusionsThe present study suggests that high-dose of VC ameliorate pancreatic injury of SAP via the NRF2/NQO1/HO-1 pathway to inhibit oxidative stress.
