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

Methylglyoxal (MG), a reactive sugar-derived metabolite, exerts harmful effects by inducing oxidative stress, which aggravates a series of diabetic complications, including osteoporosis. The present study was performed to examine the effects of luteolin, a dietary polyphenolic flavonoid, on MG-induced cytotoxicity in MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells. Pretreatment of MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells with luteolin prevented MG-induced cell death and production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, intracellular reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial superoxide, and cardiolipin peroxidation. In addition, luteolin increased the levels of glutathione and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and decreased the inhibition of heme oxygenase-1 activity by MG. Pretreatment with luteolin prior to MG exposure reduced MG-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and increased the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ co-activator 1α (PGC-1α) and nitric oxide levels, suggesting that luteolin may induce mitochondrial biogenesis. Taken together, these observations indicated that luteolin has potential as a preventive agent against the development of diabetic osteopathy related to MG-induced oxidative stress in diabetes.
