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

aimTo investigate the effects of four different ingredients of zedoary (Curcuma aromatica oil, Curcumol, beta-elemence, and Curcumin) on the gene expressions of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), and to explore the molecular mechanism of zedoary against hepatic fibrosis at gene network level.

methodsWe detected the mRNA sequences of 50 liver fibrosis-related genes in GenBank and designed oligonucleotide probes. We synthesized oligonucleotides with PE8909 DNA synthesizing instrument, and carried out oligonucleotide microarray with OGR-04 dropping instrument and aldehyded glass chip. Cultured HSC-T6 cells were treated with different concentrations of Colchicine, Curcuma aromatica oil, Curcumol, beta-elemence, and Curcumin. According to the experiment of cell toxicity, we took the appropriate concentrations of medicines that resulted in over 50% of cell survival as experiment concentrations. We collected the cells at 1, 6, 12, and 24 h, and extracted total RNA with TRIzol reagent, then labeled cDNAs with Cy3-dUTP and Cy5-dUTP. These labeled cDNAs were hybridized to an oligonucleotide microarray which was washed several times and scanned by scanner GenePix 4000B. Different gene expressions of HSC-T6 cells were analyzed by ImaGene 4.2 software.

resultsAfter HSC-T6 cells were cultured in a medium containing 6.25 microg/mL Colchicine for 12 h, expression of TIMP-1 decreased 2.2-folds. After HSC-T6 cells were cultured in a medium containing 78.125 microg/mL of Curcuma aromatica oil for 24 h, the expression of TIMP-2 and IL-6 decreased 2.3- and 2.2-folds, respectively. Moreover, after HSC-T6 cells were cultured in a medium containing 1.5625 microg/mL of Curcumol for 12 h, the expression of TGFbeta1 and P450a decreased 2.3- and 2.1-folds, respectively.

conclusionOur results may show the possible molecular mechanism of Curcuma aromatica oil and Curcumol against hepatic fibrosis.
