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

Background: Oxidative stress-induced mitochondrial damage is the major cause of cardiomyocyte dysfunction. Therefore, the maintenance of mitochondrial function, which is regulated by mitochondrial quality control (MQC), is necessary for cardiomyocyte homeostasis. This study aimed to explore the underlying mechanisms of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) function and its relationship with MQC. Methods: A hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress model was established using H9c2 cardiomyocytes treated with or without NAC prior to oxidative stress stimulation. Autophagy with light chain 3 (LC3)-green fluorescent protein (GFP) assay, reactive oxygen species (ROS) with the 2',7'-dichlorodi hydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) fluorescent, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content assay, and a mitochondrial membrane potential detection were used to evaluate mitochondrial dynamics in H Results: We observed that NAC improved cell viability, reduced ROS levels, and partially restored optic atrophy 1 (OPA1) protein expression under oxidative stress. Following transfection with a specific Conclusions: NAC ameliorated the injury to H9c2 cardiomyocytes caused by H
