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

Methionine restriction (MetR) is a dietary intervention that extends mean and maximum life span in rodents, at least in part, by reducing oxidative stress and promoting DNA stability in different tissues. Regarding DNA stability, DNA repair pathways play a critical role, both in the nuclear and mitochondrial fractions. Base excision repair (BER) is the main one involved in the repair of oxidative damage, as well as the main one in mitochondria. Despite the relevance of DNA repair in DNA maintenance, it is not known whether MetR regulates BER as a mechanism of preserving genomic stability. In this study we analyzed, for the first time, the effect of 40% MetR for 7 weeks on BER in rat brain cortex and liver, focusing on the expression of several key BER genes. In the brain cortex, MetR significantly increased the gene expression of the DNA glycosylase
