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

objectiveTo explore the effects of high cholesterol/high fat diet-induced hypercholesterolemia on pulmonary homeostasis of wild-type C57BL/6J mice. MATERIALS AND

methodsSix- to eight-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into two groups and treated with either high cholesterol/high fat diet (HCD, containing 20 % fat, 1.25 % cholesterol and 0.5 % sodium cholate) or a matching regular diet (RD, containing 4 % fat with no cholesterol and cholate added) for 12-16 weeks.

resultsTwelve to sixteen weeks after HCD diet feeding, hypercholesterolemia and pulmonary lipid accumulation were progressively exacerbated in C57BL/6J mice. Meanwhile, the HCD-fed mice showed distinctive signs of inflammation in the lung, which includes macrophage accumulation in alveolar lumen and lymphocyte infiltration around perivascular area. Simultaneously, the mRNA and protein expression of TLR2 and TLR4 were significantly up-regulated, and the translocation of NFκB into nucleus was activated in HCD-fed mice lung. In vitro, oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) could directly up-regulate the expression of TLR2 and TLR4 in both A549 and MLE-12 lung epithelial cell lines.

conclusionsThese findings suggested that high cholesterol/high fat diet-induced hypercholesterolemia could result in TLRs/NFκB pathway-associated low-grade pulmonary inflammation in C57BL/6J mice, which might alter the lung's immune responsiveness to a variety of environmental exposures.
