Glutathione Infusion Before and 3 Days After Primary Angioplasty Blunts Ongoing NOX2-Mediated Inflammatory Response.
Trial report in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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.
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
Background Glutathione is a water-soluble tripeptide with a potent oxidant scavenging activity. We hypothesized that glutathione administration immediately before and after primary angioplasty (primary percutaneous coronary intervention) could be effective in modulating immune cell activation, thereby preventing infarct expansion. Methods and Results One hundred consecutive patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction, scheduled to undergo primary percutaneous coronary intervention were randomly assigned before the intervention to receive an infusion of glutathione (2500 mg/25 mL over 10 minutes), followed by drug administration at the same doses at 24, 48, and 72 hours elapsing time or placebo. Total leukocytes, NOX2 (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 2) activation, NO bioavailability, cTpT (serum cardiac troponin T), hsCRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein), and TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor α) levels were measured. Left ventricular size and function were assessed within 120 minutes, 5 days, and 6 months from percutaneous coronary intervention. Following reperfusion, a significant reduction of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (
