Article in Experientia, 1996. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04177420 (Investigation for Health Efficacy of Infrared-C Radiation on Diabetes Patients in Senior's Activity Center), which is not on this map. Cited by 16 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

A simple, sensitive, non-stimulated assay was developed to measure the superoxide anion concentration in whole blood, using an ultra-sensitive chemiluminescence (CL) analyzer and lucigenin amplification. The assay system can be performed without leukocyte isolation or stimulant administration. The blood CL levels of healthy males (362.8 +/- 337.7 counts /10 sec) were not different from those of females (335 +/- 308.7 counts/10 sec) (p=0.64), whereas the CL levels in whole blood in patients with acute pancreatitis (2522 +/- 2014 counts/10 sec) were significantly higher than those of healthy controls (p<0.001). This assay system may be valuable in the future for quantitative measurement of reactive oxygen species in various disorders.
