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

Introduction: Molybdenum (Mo) is a potential biodegradable stent material that has excellent mechanical and degradation properties. Recent studies suggest that chronic exposure to Mo is associated with renal concerns. Methods: Fifth instar Results: Mo was non-toxic at all concentrations. Colorimetric assays of MDA and SOD in hemolymph and in the MT were comparable across the treatment groups. Morphological changes were observed in the cryptonephridial complex (CNC) of the MT tubules with 10 mM Mo treatment alluding to dilation of the MT. Two photon FLIM indicated the likely presence of the metabolic species (NAD(P)H) (blue channel) with an increase in mean lifetime (Tm) and an increase of protein binding of NAD(P)H at 200 mM of Mo treatment favoring oxidative phosphorylation. Discussion: In summary, we confirmed non-toxicity of Mo in the invertebrate
