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

backgroundSalvianolic acid B (Sal B) is one of the most bioactive components of Salvia miltiorrhiza, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine that has been commonly used for prevention and treatment of cerebrovascular disorders. However, the mechanism responsible for such protective effects remains largely unknown. It has been considered that cerebral endothelium apoptosis caused by reactive oxygen species including hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) is implicated in the pathogenesis of cerebrovascular disorders. METHODOLOGY AND PRINCIPAL

findingsBy examining the effect of Sal B on H(2)O(2)-induced apoptosis in rat cerebral microvascular endothelial cells (rCMECs), we found that Sal B pretreatment significantly attenuated H(2)O(2)-induced apoptosis in rCMECs. We next examined the signaling cascade(s) involved in Sal B-mediated anti-apoptotic effects. We showed that H(2)O(2) induces rCMECs apoptosis mainly through the PI3K/ERK pathway, since a PI3K inhibitor (LY294002) blocked ERK activation caused by H(2)O(2 )and a specific inhibitor of MEK (U0126) protected cells from apoptosis. On the other hand, blockage of the PI3K/Akt pathway abrogated the protective effect conferred by Sal B and potentated H(2)O(2)-induced apoptosis, suggesting that Sal B prevents H(2)O(2)-induced apoptosis predominantly through the PI3K/Akt (upstream of ERK) pathway. SIGNIFICANCE: Our findings provide the first evidence that H(2)O(2) induces rCMECs apoptosis via the PI3K/MEK/ERK pathway and that Sal B protects rCMECs against H(2)O(2)-induced apoptosis through the PI3K/Akt/Raf/MEK/ERK pathway.
