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

Chronic inflammation and the calcification of aortic valve interstitial cells (AVICs) are the primary etiologies of calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD). However, the underlying mechanism remains to be elucidated. The present study investigated the importance of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) via toll‑like receptor 4 (TLR4) for the regulation of inflammation and calcification in AVICs. It was determined that the expression levels of HMGB1 and TLR4 were increased in the calcific region of aortic valves with CAVD. In cultured primary AVICs from wild‑type mice, HMGB1 treatment demonstrated a dose-dependent increase in mineralization levels and osteogenic gene expression. These effects were significantly reduced in AVICs obtained from TLR4 knockout mice (TLR4‑/‑). In addition, calcification was inhibited by TLR4-specific antibodies in primary AVICs. HMGB1 induced the activation of p38 and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in TLR4‑/‑ primary AVICs, and inhibited p38 and NF‑κB in wild‑type AVICs treated with TLR4‑specific antibodies. The present study demonstrated that TLR4 may function as an essential mediator of HMGB1‑induced calcification and in the activation of p38 and NF-κB.
