Source and classification

What kind of evidence is this?

Evidence stream

Preclinical

Reported design

Controlled preclinical study

Research topic

Metabolic and lipid health

Administration classification

Inhaled H₂

Study result signal

Not reported in this record.

Outcome type

Not reported in this record.

Reported in the source

Methods at a glance

Population or model

mice, mouse, tissues, cell used to study metabolic and lipid health.

Sample

Preclinical study; the full text reports 24 mice, with group/assay counts including n=20, n=6, n=3.

Duration

60 min

Intervention

Full text reports inhaled H₂-containing gas plus H₂ dissolved in drinking water. Detected intervention quantities or schedules: 2%, 60 min, 6 mL/kg, 4 L/min.

Hydrogen form

Inhaled molecular H₂ at 2%; not classified as Brown’s gas without an H₂/O₂ composition.

H₂ specification

H₂-related quantities reported in the intervention passages: 2%, 60 min, 6 mL/kg, 4 L/min. Values are not combined across different experimental arms.

H₂ flow

80 mL/min H₂, calculated from 2% H₂ and 4000 mL/min total flow reported in the full text.

O₂ delivered with H₂

O₂ concentration and absolute O₂ flow were not both reported in the full article; no value is inferred.

Comparator

Control or comparison condition reported in the full article; see the linked methods for arm-specific details.

Reported, not endorsed

Outcomes and reported result

Outcomes measured

survival or mortality, clinical symptoms or functional scores, tumor growth or cancer markers, inflammation and cytokines, oxidative-stress and antioxidant markers, apoptosis or cell injury

Reported result

Article-reported result excerpt (24 words maximum): “In addition, neuronal damage was alleviated in mice in the SAE + H_2 and SAE + HW groups compared with those in the SAE…” This excerpt is not a complete result summary; consult the linked full text for all positive and null findings.

Results-extraction completeness

The complete machine-readable article was checked for source identity, methods, intervention quantities, results, tables, funding and conflict declarations. This public record is based on the full article.

A reported association, difference or mechanism is not automatically a clinical benefit. Null findings, outcome type, study design and precision all matter.

Interpretation limits

Cautions and applicability

Design and reporting cautions

Preclinical evidence only; findings do not establish a treatment effect in people. No funding statement was identified in the machine-readable full article; absence is not inferred. No explicit conflict statement was identified in the machine-readable full article; absence is not inferred.

Applies directly to

Applies to the reported animal, cell or tissue model, not directly to patients.

Preliminary appraisal framework

Not reported in this record.

Preliminary risk-of-bias status

Not reported in this record.

Appraisal rationale

Not reported in this record.

No single-study GRADE certainty rating is assigned. Certainty is assessed by important outcome across a complete eligible evidence set, not by attaching a final grade to one source.
