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

Periodontitis is a chronic disease that affects the gums and destroys connective tissue. Acanthoic acid (AA), a diterpene in Acanthopanax koreanum, has been reported to have anti-inflammatory activities. The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of AA on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory response in human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). HGFs were treated with Porphyromonas gingivalis LPS in the presence or absence of AA. The production of inflammatory cytokines IL-8 and IL-6 were measured by ELISA. The expression of NF-κB and TLR4 were detected by Western blotting. The results showed that AA inhibited LPS-induced IL-8 and IL-6 production in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, AA inhibited LPS-induced TLR4 expression and NF-κB activation. In conclusion, AA inhibits LPS-induced inflammatory response in HGFs through inhibition TLR4-mediated NF-κB signaling pathway.
