Lipoxin A4 promotes ABCA1 expression and cholesterol efflux through the LXRα signaling pathway in THP-1 macrophage-derived foam cells.

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.
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
Adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) is a crucial cholesterol transporter and plays a central role in the high density lipoproteins (HDL) cholesterol metabolism and lipid clearance from the foam cell. Lipoxin A4 (LXA4) is an endogenous lipid mediator that requires cell-cell interaction or cell-platelet interaction for its synthesis. The roles of LXA4 on inflammatory responses are well described, while its effects on mediating ABCA1 and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we showed that LXA4 significantly increases expression of ABCA1 and LXRα in a dose-dependent manner in THP-1 macrophage-derived foam cells. Cellular cholesterol content was decreased while cholesterol efflux was increased by LXA4 treatment. However, after short interfering RNA of LXRα, the effects of LXA4 on ABCA1 expression and cholesterol metabolism were significantly abolished. These results provide evidence that LXA4 increases ABCA1 expression and promotes cholesterol efflux through LXRα pathway in THP-1 macrophage-derived foam cells.
