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 aim of the present study was to investigate whether an ethanol extract of Gastrodia elata (EGE) rhizome, a traditional Korean herbal medical food, suppresses the endothelial extracellular matrix degradation induced by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha. Gelatin zymography results showed that pretreatment with EGE to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) decreased TNF-alpha-induced increase of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2/-9 activities in the range of 1-50 microg/ml. Real-time qRT-PCR results also revealed that TNF-alpha-induced MMP-2/-9 mRNA expression levels were attenuated by pretreatment with EGE. These results provide new insights into the pathophysiological mechanisms for the anti-atherosclerotic properties of EGE in vascular diseases.
