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

1 The leaf extract of Ginkgo Biloba L. exhibits a variety of pharmacological effects through an antioxidant action. We examined the effects of the leaf extract (Ginkgolon-24) on the production of fibronectin induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) in rat mesangial cells. 2 Stimulation with oxLDL accelerated the production of fibronectin with the preceding generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Pretreatment with Ginkgolon-24 inhibited the oxLDL-induced fibronectin production as well as ROS generation. 3 oxLDL also elicited the activation of SP-1, nuclear factor-kappaB, and cAMP response element-binding protein, which are transcription factors involved in the fibronectin production. Among these activated transcription factors, Ginkgolon-24 inhibited the activation of SP-1 only. 4 Furthermore, 7-ketocholesterol, an oxidized lipid in oxLDL particles, induced the production of fibronectin and the activation of SP-1, which were also suppressed by Ginkgolon-24. 5 These results suggest that the leaf extract of Ginkgo Biloba L. inhibits the oxLDL-induced production of fibronectin probably through inhibitory effects on ROS generation and SP-1 activation in rat mesangial cells.
