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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsEither lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or high-fat diet (HFD) enriched with saturated fatty acid (SFA) promotes atherosclerosis. In this study, we investigated the effect of LPS in combination with SFA-rich HFD on atherosclerosis and how LPS and SFA interact to stimulate inflammatory response in vascular endothelial cells.

methodsLow-density lipoprotein receptor-deficient (LDLR

resultsThe metabolic study showed that LPS had no significant effect on cholesterol, triglycerides, free fatty acids, but increased insulin and insulin resistance. Both LP-HFD and HP-HFD increased body weight and cholesterol while LP-HFD increased glucose and HP-HFD increased triglycerides, insulin, and insulin resistance. Analysis of aortic atherosclerosis showed that HP-HFD was more effective than LP-HFD in inducing atherosclerosis and LPS in combination with HP-HFD increased atherosclerosis in the thoracic aorta, a less common site for atherosclerosis, as compared with LPS or HP-HFD. To understand the mechanisms, results showed that LPS and PA synergistically upregulated adhesion molecules and proinflammatory cytokines in HAECs.

conclusionsLPS and PA-rich HFD cooperatively increased atherogenesis in the thoracic aorta. The synergy between LPS and PA on proinflammatory molecules in HAECs may play an important role in atherogenesis.
