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

Muscone is the main chemical ingredient in Musk which is main crude drug in Tongqiaohuoxue decoction (TQHXD), and TQHXD has a protective effect on damaged neurons, so we hypothesize that muscone can alter blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability via the modulation of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) expression. In this study, astrocytes (AC) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (ECV304) were co-cultured to simulate the BBB model in vitro. Leak testing, transmembrane resistance experiments, and BBB-specific enzyme testing were used to test whether the model was successful. Different concentrations of muscone permeating the BBB were detected by gas chromatography (GC). The change of the transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) on the BBB in vitro after treating with muscone was detected by Millicell-ERS. The protein expression of P-gp, MMP-9 in normal, and oxygen/glucose deprivation (OGD) BBB model was determined by western blotting to inquire that the mechanism of muscone penetrates the BBB model in vitro. The results show that muscone was detected in the lower medium of the BBB model by GC; the values of TEER were no significant difference before and after muscone (8 μM) was added to the BBB model; the expression of P-gp significantly decreased after the BBB model treatment with muscone (4, 8, and 16 μM) for 24 h; the expression of P-gp and MMP-9 in different concentrations of muscone groups had different degrees of reduction compared with the BBB in the state of OGD. In conclusion, muscone could permeate the BBB model, and it was associated with the inhibition of P-gp and MMP-9 expression. An understanding of the mechanisms of muscone across the BBB is crucial to the development of therapeutic modalities for cerebral vascular diseases.
