Determining superoxide dismutase content and catalase activity in mammalian cell lines.
Article in MethodsX, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Traditional methods for determining superoxide dismutase (SOD) content and catalase (CAT) activity rely on measuring the absorbance of individual tissue (biological) samples using a cuvette and spectrophotometer, rather than cell cultures. Although there are kits available for SOD and CAT assays, these allow for high-throughput analysis of samples and might be too expensive for research laboratories in countries from the Global South, such as South Africa. This paper describes a simple and cost-effective method to determine SOD content and CAT activity in mammalian cell cultures following exposure to environmental chemical mixtures by measuring absorbance in 96-well microplates. Moreover, the equipment used for this method is considered standard for cell culture laboratories, while the reagents and consumables are easily obtainable.•Antioxidant enzyme levels can be measured
