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

backgroundExcessive autophagy induced by extravagant oxidative stress is the main reason for diabetes-induced vascular endothelial cells dysfunction. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has anti-oxidative effects but its regulation on excessive autophagy of vascular endothelial cells is unclear.

methodsIn this study, aorta of db/db mice (28 weeks old) and rat aortic endothelial cells (RAECs) treated with 40 mM glucose and 500 μM palmitate acted as type II diabetic animal and cellular models, respectively, and 100 μMNaHS was used as an exogenous H2S donor. The apoptosis level was measured by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) staining and Hoechst 33342/PI staining. The activities of SOD, CAT and respiratory complexes were also measured. The mRNA levels of SOD and CAT were detected by real-time PCR. AMPK-siRNA was used to detect the effect of AMPK on autophagy. Western blotting was used to detected the protein level.

resultsH2S production was decreased (p < 0.05, p < 0.01) both in vitro and in vivo; NaHS treatment rescued this impairment (p < 0.05, p < 0.01). The expression of adhesive proteins was increased (p < 0.05, p < 0.01) both in vitro and in vivo; NaHS attenuated (p < 0.05, p < 0.01) these alterations. NaHS could protect endothelial cells against apoptosis induced by type II diabetes (p < 0.05, p < 0.01). Furthermore, the expressions and activities of SOD and CAT were impaired (p < 0.05, p < 0.01) in endothelial cells of diabetes II; NaHS treatment attenuated (p < 0.05) this impairment. NaHS also increased ATP production (p < 0.05) and activities of respiratory complexes (p < 0.05), and the ratio of p-AMPK to AMPK was also decreased by NaHS (p < 0.01). The level of autophagy in endothelial cells was also decreased (p < 0.05, p < 0.01) by NaHS treatment and AMPK-siRNA treatment. The expression of Nrf2 in the nuclei was increased (p < 0.05) by NaHS treatment.

conclusionExogenous H2S might protect arterial endothelial cells by suppressing excessive autophagy induced by oxidative stress through the Nrf2-ROS-AMPK signaling pathway.
