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

Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) are a novel elemental form selenium and often reported to possess beneficial bioactivities such as anticancer, promoting bone growth and immunomodulation. Our previous study demonstrated that chitosan-stabilized SeNPs have strong activity in immunomodulation. However, the mechanism underlying the immunomodulation of SeNPs is still unknown. The aim of this study is to identify the molecular mechanisms involved in SeNP-induced immunomodulation. Using zebrafish, as a common immunological animal model with a highly conserved molecular mechanism with other vertebrates, we conducted serum proteomic and tissue transcriptome analyses on individuals fed with SeNP in healthy or disease conditions. We also compared differences between SeNPs and an exogenous antioxidant Trolox in immune activity and redox regulation. Our results suggest that the immunomodulation activity was highly related to antioxidant activity and lipid metabolism. Interestingly, the biological functions enhanced by SeNP were almost identical in the healthy and disease conditions. However, while the SeNP was suppressing ROS in healthy individuals, it promoted ROS formation during disease condition. This might be related to the defense mechanism against pathogens. SOD and NFkβ appeared to be the key molecular switch changing effect of SeNPs when individuals undergo infection, indicating the close relationship between immune and redox regulation.
