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

Hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) has been shown to protect against oxidative stress injury and inflammation in various hypoxia-induced insult models. However, it remains unknown whether H(2)S protects human skin keratinocytes (HaCaT cells) against chemical hypoxia-induced damage. In the current study, HaCaT cells were treated with cobalt chloride (CoCl(2)), a well known hypoxia mimetic agent, to establish a chemical hypoxia-induced cell injury model. Our findings showed that pretreatment of HaCaT cells with NaHS (a donor of H(2)S) for 30 min before exposure to CoCl(2) for 24 h significantly attenuated CoCl(2)-induced injuries and inflammatory responses, evidenced by increases in cell viability and GSH level and decreases in ROS generation and secretions of IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-8. In addition, pretreatment with NaHS markedly reduced CoCl(2)-induced COX-2 overexpression and PGE(2) secretion as well as intranuclear NF-κB p65 subunit accumulation (the central step of NF-κB activation). Similar to the protective effect of H(2)S, both NS-398 (a selective COX-2 inhibitor) and PDTC (a selective NF-κB inhibitor) depressed not only CoCl(2)-induced cytotoxicity, but also the secretions of IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-8. Importantly, PDTC obviously attenuated overexpression of COX-2 induced by CoCl(2). Notably, NAC, a ROS scavenger, conferred a similar protective effect of H(2)S against CoCl(2)-induced insults and inflammatory responses. Taken together, the findings of the present study have demonstrated for the first time that H(2)S protects HaCaT cells against CoCl(2)-induced injuries and inflammatory responses through inhibition of ROS-activated NF-κB/COX-2 pathway.
