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 protective effects of prostaglandin E(1) (PGE(1)) against H(2)O(2)-induced oxidative damage on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).

methodsHUVECs were pretreated with PGE(1) (0.25, 0.50, and 1.00 micromol/L) for 24 h and exposed to H(2)O(2) (200 micromol/L) for 12 h, and cell viability was measured by the MTT assay. LDH, NO, SOD, GSH-Px, MDA, ROS, and apoptotic percentage were determined. eNOS expression was measured by Western blotting and real-time PCR.

resultsPGE(1) (0.25-1.00 micromol/L) was able to markedly restore the viability of HUVECs under oxidative stress, and scavenged intracellular reactive oxygen species induced by H(2)O(2). PGE(1) also suppressed the production of lipid peroxides, such as MDA, restored the activities of endogenous antioxidants including SOD and GSH-Px, and inhibited cell apoptosis. In addition, PGE(1) significantly increased NO content, eNOS protein, and mRNA expression.

conclusionPGE(1) effectively protected endothelial cells against oxidative stress induced by H(2)O(2), an activity that might depend on the up-regulation of NO expression.
