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

T-2 toxin is the most toxic mycotoxin found in contaminated food and animal feed that threatens health. Exposure to T-2 toxin causes cartilage damage and leads to joint disorders, but the mechanisms underlying T-2 toxin-induced cartilage damage remain unclear. The results showed that T-2 toxin-induced chondrocyte death in articular cartilage from rats fed T-2 toxin (200 ng/g b.w./day) caused a significant increase in phosphorylated receptor-interacting protein 3 (p-RIPK3) and phosphorylated mixed lineage kinase-like protein (p-MLKL). In vitro studies showed that T-2 toxin (48 ng/mL) reduced the viability of C-28/I2 chondrocytes, increased cell apoptosis, and significantly upregulated the expression of p-MLKL. The results suggest that chondrocyte necroptosis is involved in T-2 toxin-induced cartilage damage. Furthermore, necrostatin-1 (Nec-1), a necroptosis inhibitor, significantly attenuated T-2 toxin-induced cell death and the increase of p-MLKL. Further studies showed that mlkl
