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

1. Antioxidant and oxidative enzymes were examined in renal glomeruli and proximal tubules of healthy young rats (10-12 weeks old), and results were related to the superoxide anion generation of these tissues. 2. Activities of superoxide dismutases, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase were 3- to 6-fold higher in proximal tubules than in glomeruli. Similarly, enzyme levels and mRNA levels of superoxide dismutases and catalase were significantly higher in proximal tubules. 3. NADH- and NADPH-dependent oxidase activity and xanthine oxidase activity were not different in glomeruli and proximal tubules. 4. Measurements with lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence in vital tissues indicated 10-fold higher rates of superoxide anion in glomeruli than in tubules. 5. Compared with the young rats, tubules of 8-month-old rats had significantly higher superoxide anion rates and lower superoxide dismutase activity, whereas NADH- and NADPH-dependent oxidase activities were unchanged. 6. We conclude that considerable differences in the antioxidant-oxidant balance exist between the glomerulus and proximal tubule. Results from experiments using chemiluminescence in vital tissues suggest that changes in the antioxidant-oxidant balance have an effect on oxygen radical levels. The relevance of the observed differences to glomerular and tubulo-interstitial disease remains to be determined, but a greater susceptibility of the glomerulus to oxidant stress might be anticipated.
