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

By protecting the cells against oxidative and osmotic stress, glutathione (GSH) plays particularly important roles in bacteria. Glutathione is synthesized through two ATP-dependent reactions catalyzed by glutamate-cysteine ligase (Gcl) and glutathione synthetase (Gs). In addition, glutathione reductase (Gr) catalyzes the reduction of glutathione disulfide to its sulfhydryl form, GSH. In Myxococcus xanthus cells, the activities of Gcl, Gs, and Gr were found to be the highest during the stationary phase of growth and declined during starvation-induced development. In growth medium, compared with the wild-type strain, M. xanthus gcl mutant cells were characterized by a longer generation time and lower maximum cell density. During growth, the gcl mutant produced a browning substance in nutrient medium and the culture fluid inhibited horseradish peroxidase and thioredoxin reductase activities. In H
