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

Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) are among the most important compounds extracted from Panax notoginseng root, and have long been used in traditional Chinese medicine to control bleeding. PNS have recently garnered attention for the treatment of circulatory system diseases. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of PNS on angiogenesis in vitro and to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying their actions. The present results demonstrated that the proliferative ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was augmented following treatment with PNS. In addition, wound healing and Boyden chamber assays indicated that PNS may enhance HUVEC motility and increase the number of capillary‑like tube branches in HUVECs. These effects were suppressed by 5' adenosine monophosphate‑activated protein kinase (AMPK) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) inhibitors. Furthermore, western blot analysis demonstrated that PNS stimulated the phosphorylation of AMPK and eNOS at Thr‑172 and Ser‑1179, respectively. These results suggested that PNS may promote tube formation in endothelial cells through AMPK‑ and eNOS‑dependent signaling pathways.
