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

To measure quantitatively the intracellular distribution of cellular glutathione peroxidase (GPX) in rat hepatocytes, ultrathin sections were stained by a postembedding immunogold technique. GPX had a specific activity of 1670 Units/mg protein, and was purified 2050-fold from rat liver by means of heat denaturation, ammonium sulfate fractionation, and a series of chromatographic procedures including thiol-Sepharose 4B. The purified GPX was shown to be electrophoretically pure, and was a homotetramer of 22 kDa subunits. Monospecific polyclonal antibodies were raised in rabbits by immunization. By immunoblot analysis, both the light mitochondrial the and cytosolic fractions of rat liver homogenate gave a single band with an identical mobility to that of the purified enzyme. Under the light microscope, hepatocytes showed nuclear staining and granular cytoplasmic staining, corresponding to certain intracellular structures. The labeling density (number of gold particles/microns 2) for GPX obtained by immunoelectron microscopy was 11.9 in the nuclei, 19.6 in mitochondria, 3.32 in peroxisomes, 1.95 in lysosomes, and 9.81 in the cytoplasmic matrix. These results suggest that cellular GPX is present in various compartments of rat hepatocytes, and that the GPX occurs in relatively higher amounts in mitochondria.
