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 Herba Scutellariae Barbatae flavonoids (HF) in delaying aging of Caenorhabditis elegans and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vitro.

methodsThe effects of 30 or 50 mg/L of HF on nematode life span, reproductive capacity, oxidative stress, and antioxidant enzyme activity of C. elegans were assessed, and the effects of HF on the expressions of the genes encoding antioxidant enzymes and the aging-related genes were analyzed using real-time RT-PCR in both C. elegans and cultured HUVECs. Results Compared with the blank control group, C. elegans with HF treatment showed significantly improved mean and maximum lifespan with a prolonged mean lifespan under acute heat stress at 35 degrees celsius;. HF treatment did not impair the reproductive capacity or cause significant changes in the offspring number of C. elegans. In addition, HF enhanced SOD and CAT activity and up-regulated the expression of daf-16 and sir-2.1 (SIRT1) genes in C. elegans and HUVECs.

conclusionsHF may delay aging of C. elegans and enhance their resistance to acute heat stress without damaging their reproductive capacity possibly by up-regulating the activity of antioxidant enzymes and expressions of antioxidant genes. HF also may protect endothelial cells against oxidative damage.
