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

backgroundThe study is inclined to investigate the antagonistic effects of endostatin-vascular endothelial growth inhibitor chimeric recombinant adenovirus (Ad-hENDO-VEGI) on homocysteine (Hcy)-induced vascular endothelial cells (VECs) injury in vitro and in vivo.

methodsHuman VECs cell line ECV304 was selected and infected with Ad-hENDO-VEGI. The LDH leakage, SOD activity, and MDA levels were measured by the automatic biochemical analyzer. Cell survival rate was counted by Trypanblau dying. The TNF-α and MCP-1 protein expressions were detected by ELISA assay. The protein expressions of fusion protein of Ad-hENDO-VEGI, nuclear factor kappa B p65 (NF-kappa B p65), and NF-kappa B inhibitor alpha (I-kappa B-α) were detected by Western blotting. A rat model of hyper-homocysteinemia was constructed. Thirty-six Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: the control group, the model group, and the Ad-hENDO-VEGI group. Serum Hcy levels in rats were measured with enzymatic cycling method. Endothelial vasodilation function was evaluated with the treatment of sodium nitroprusside and acetylcholine.

resultsAfter Ad-hENDO-VEGI infection, high expressions (41 kD) of fusion proteins in ECV304 cells were observed. The injury severity of Hcy on ECV304 cells had a dose-dependent manner, and the injury reached a steady stage at 1.0 mmol/L. Thus, 1.0 mmol/L Hcy was selected for further experiments. With an increase of Ad-hENDO-VEGI in ECV304 cells after Hcy treatment, LDH leakage, MDA, TNF-α, MCP-1, and nuclear NF-kappa B p65 protein expression were gradually decreased, and cell survival rate, SOD activity, and I-kappa B-α protein expression were gradually increased. Compared with the control group, the model group had a higher Hcy level and attenuated vasodilator response. The Ad-hENDO-VEGI group exhibited a lower Hcy level and enhanced vasodilator response than the model group.

conclusionThese results indicated that Ad-hENDO-VEGI could down-regulate NF-kappa B p65 expression and suppress inflammatory response, thereby alleviating Hcy-induced VECs injury.
