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

Glutathione redox balance-defined as the ratio GSH/GSSG-is a critical regulator of cellular redox state, and declines in this ratio are closely associated with oxidative stress and disease. However, little is known about the impact of genetic variation on this trait. Previous mouse studies suggest that tissue GSH/GSSG is regulated by genetic background and is therefore heritable. In this study, we measured glutathione concentrations and GSH/GSSG in liver and kidney of 30 genetically diverse inbred mouse strains. Genetic background caused an approximately threefold difference in hepatic and renal GSH/GSSG between the most disparate strains. Haplotype association mapping determined the loci associated with hepatic and renal glutathione phenotypes. We narrowed the number of significant loci by focusing on those located within protein-coding genes, which we now consider to be candidate genes for glutathione homeostasis. No candidate genes were associated with both hepatic and renal GSH/GSSG, suggesting that genetic regulation of GSH/GSSG occurs predominantly in a tissue-specific manner. This is the first quantitative trait locus study to examine the genetic regulation of glutathione concentrations and redox balance in mammals. We identified novel candidate genes that have the potential to redefine our knowledge of redox biochemistry and its regulation and inform future therapeutic applications.
