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

Endometritis is an inflammation of the uterine lining that is commonly initiated at parturition. The uterine epithelial cells play an important role in defending against invading pathogens. Magnolol, a hydroxylated biphenyl compound isolated from Magnolia officinalis, has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of magnolol in modifying lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced signal pathways in mouse uterine epithelial cells. We found that magnolol inhibited TNF-α and IL-6 production in LPS-stimulated mouse uterine epithelial cells. We also found that magnolol inhibited LPS-induced NF-κB activation, IκBα degradation, phosphorylation of ERK, JNK, and P38. Furthermore, magnolol could significantly inhibit the expression of TLR4 stimulating by LPS. These results suggest that magnolol exerts an anti-inflammatory property by downregulating the expression of TLR4 upregulated by LPS, thereby attenuating TLR4-mediated NF-κB and MAPK signaling and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. These findings suggest that magnolol may be a therapeutic agent against endometritis.
