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

OBJECTIVES AND

designMicroglia play an important role in immune and inflammatory responses in the central nervous system. Astragalus polysaccharide (APS) has been reported as an immune stimulant for various inflammation-associated diseases in vivo. The present study investigated the effects of APS on lipopolysaccharide-stimulated inflammatory responses in microglial cells. MATERIALS AND

methodsCultured BV2 microglial cells were pre-treated with APS (0-200 μg/ml) prior to lipopolysaccharide (50 ng/ml) stimulation. The production of proinflammatory mediators including inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)/nitric oxide (NO), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)/prostaglandin E (PGE2), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were evaluated.

resultsAPS dose-dependently reduced lipopolysaccharide stimulated nitric oxide and PGE2 production, as well as iNOS and cyclooxygenase-2 gene expression. It also attenuated proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and TNF-α generation. In addition, APS inhibited nuclear factor-κB translocation by blockade of IκB degradation and suppressed protein kinase B phosphorylation in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated cells.

conclusionsThe inhibitory effects of APS on lipopolysaccharide-stimulated inflammatory mediator production in microglia are associated with suppression of nuclear factor-κB and protein kinase B signaling pathways. APS may offer therapeutic potential for treating inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases accompanied with microglial activation.
