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

purposeTo explore the therapeutic potential and mechanism of chrysophanol on lipid-lowering function.

methodsZebrafish or larvae were employed to evaluate the effect of chrysophanol on lipid-lowering. Zebrafish of 5 day post fertilization (dpf, larva) and 13-week old were fed with high-cholesterol diet or high-fat to investigate the influence of chrysophanol comparing with atorvastain and co-administration of chrysophanol and atorvastain on subsistent blood lipid using the fluorescence microscope and lipid panel screen. Thereafter, we enrolled zebrafish of 7 dpf fed with high-fat diet to explore the lipid-lowering mechanism of chrysophanol basing on the frequency of peristalsis and the residual on the digestive wall.

resultsChrysophanol could significantly lower cholesterol both in zebrafish and larvae (P < 0.05), and the co-administration of chrysophanol and atorvastatin had the best performance in reducing cholesterol (P < 0.05). Chrysophanol and atorvastain could also significantly lower triglyceride. Moreover, we found that chrysophanol attached on the digestive wall for a long time and enhanced the frequency of peristalsis.

conclusionsChrysophanol has lipid-lowering effect both in zebrafish and larvae which may be attributed to the effect on the frequency of peristalsis and fat absorption, and co-administration with atorvastain performs better lipid-lowering effect in zebrafish.
