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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of sulfated glucosamine (SGlc) on the regulation of inflammatory cytokines and profiles involved in immunological activities. Changes in the inflammatory profiles of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-differentiated THP-1 macrophage models were investigated following SGlc treatment.

methodsHuman THP-1 macrophages were used to evaluate anti-inflammatory profiles. The cytokine secretion levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Effects of SGlc on the regulation of mRNA and protein levels were determined using RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. The effect of SGlc on the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and NF-κB protein was also determined by Western blot analysis.

resultsTreatment of THP-1 cells with SGlc inhibited the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6. In addition, SGlc suppressed the mRNA and protein expression levels of inflammatory mediators such as inducible nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase-2, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, 5-lipoxygenase and cytoplasmic phospholipase A(2) in LPS-activated THP-1 macrophages. Furthermore, we confirmed that the LPS-activated transcriptions of MAPKs and NF-κB were inhibited by SGlc treatment in PMA-differentiated THP-1 macrophages.

conclusionThese results suggest that SGlc can be considered as a potential anti-inflammatory supplement.
