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

Alpha-lipoic acid (α-LA) is a disulfide compound and one of the most effective antioxidants. Many studies have indicated positive effects of α-LA in the prevention of pathologic conditions mediated by oxidative stress, such as cardiovascular diseases. However, the therapeutic potential of α-LA for the heart has not been explored with regards to the ventricles and atria. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of α-LA on oxidative stress parameters and inflammation in the ventricles and atria of the heart in rats under LPS-induced oxidative stress. Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups: I-control (received 2 doses of 0.2 mL of 0.9% NaCl i.v., 0.5 h apart); II-α-LA (received 0.2 mL of 0.9% NaCl and 0.5 h later received α-LA 60 mg/kg b.w. i.v.); III-lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (received 0.2 mL of 0.9% NaCl and 0.5 h later received LPS 30 mg/kg b.w. i.v.); and IV-LPS + LA (received LPS 30 mg/kg b.w. i.v. and 0.5 h later received α-LA 60 mg/kg b.w. i.v.). Five hours later, the rats were euthanized. The hearts were surgically removed and weighed to estimate heart edema. The ventricular and atrium tissue was isolated to measure levels of TNF-α, IL-6, superoxide dismutase (SOD), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), hydrogen peroxide (H
