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.

Abstract

contextThe effects of icariin, a chief constituent of flavonoids from Epimedium brevicornum Maxim (Berberidaceae), on the levels of HIF-1α, HSP-60 and HSP-70 remain unknown.

objectiveTo explore the effects of icariin on the levels of HSP-60, HIF-1α and HSP-70 neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and cell viability. MATERIALS AND

methodsPC12 cells were treated with icariin (10

resultsAfter 2 h OGD, levels of HIF-1α, HSP-60, HSP-70 and NSE were increased significantly (HIF-1α: 33.3 ± 1.9 ng/L, HSP-60: 199 ± 16 ng/L, HSP-70: 195 ± 17 ng/L, NSE: 1487 ± 125 ng/L), and cell viability was significantly decreased (0.26 ± 0.03), while icariin (10 DISCUSSION AND

conclusionThese results indicate that the protective mechanisms of icariin against OGD-induced injury may be related to down-regulating the expression of HIF-1α, HSP-60 and HSP-70.
