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

Endothelial cell activation, injury and dysfunction have been regarded as one of the initial key events in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), an important mediator of inflammation, can cause endothelial cell damage and apoptosis. Naringin (Nar), one major flavanone glycoside from citrus fruits, shows various pharmacological actions, but the effect of Nar on LPS-induced damage in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) remains unknown. The present results showed that Nar significantly improved the survival rate of HUVECs, and decreased reactive oxygen species and intracellular Ca(2+) levels caused by LPS compared with model group. In addition, Nar obviously decreased cytochrome c release from mitochondria into cytosol. Moreover, Nar significantly down-regulated the protein or mRNA levels of IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α, VCAM-1, ICAM-1, NF-κB, AP-1, cleaved-3,-7,-9, p53, Bak and Bax, and up-regulated the expressions of Bcl-xl, Bcl-2 to suppress inflammation and apoptosis. Furthermore, Nar obviously inhibited phosphorylation levels of JNK, ERK and p38 MAPK. In conclusion, Nar exhibited potent effects against LPS-induced damage in HUVECs through the modulation of oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis and MAPK pathways, which should be developed as a potent candidate for the treatment of atherosclerosis in the future.
