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

The measurement of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels provides critical insights into cell health and pathophysiology. Here, we present a semi-quantitative, plate reader-based protocol using CellROX Green that can be used for the real-time measurement of general ROS levels of viable suspension mammalian cells. With menadione being the oxidative stress inducer, a cell concentration of 100,000 cells per well, a CellROX Green concentration of 10 µM, and a CellROX Green incubation time of 1 h was shown to provide the most accurate measurement of intracellular ROS levels in viable human monocyte leukemia (THP-1) cells. Unlike plate reader protocols using other general ROS-sensitive fluorogenic probes, this plate reader protocol eliminates the washing step of the unbound probe prior to measuring fluorescence, making it more suitable for suspension cells. Using the presented protocol, the fluorescence of up to 96 samples can be measured in under 1 min, making it ideal for rapid screening applications where moderate to large differences in oxidative stress levels are to be measured.
