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

AIMS/

introductionEndothelial cell inflammatory injury is likely required for barrier dysfunction under hyperglycemic conditions. Curcumin (CUR) is well known for its anti-inflammatory effect. However, there have been few reports about the anti-inflammatory effect of CUR induced by high glucose in endothelial cells. The aim of the present study was to investigate the inflammatory effect of high glucose and the anti-inflammatory effect of CUR induced by high glucose in rat thoracic aorta endothelial cells (TAECs). MATERIALS AND

methodsWell characterized TAECs were established and cell viability was assayed by the cell counting kit-8 method, messenger ribonucleic acid and protein expression were identified by real-time polymerase chain reaction, western blot or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. The production of reactive oxygen species was observed by a fluorescence microscope.

resultsHigh glucose (30 mmol/L) significantly decreased the cell viability of TAECs after being co-cultivated for 12 h and showed a time-dependent manner, and increased interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α secretion in TAECs. The injury effect of high glucose was involved in the reactive oxygen species-phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT)-nuclear factor (NF)-κB signaling pathway. Anti-oxidant N-acetylcysteine, PI3K and NF-κB-specific pathway inhibitors can abolish the secretion of these inflammatory factors; pretreatment with anti-oxidant N-acetylcysteine significantly decreased PI3K expression, the level of phosphorylated AKT and nuclear NF-κB; pretreatment of LY294002 can significantly decrease the NF-κB level in nuclei. After treatment with CUR for 12 h, IL-1β, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α secretion were markedly decreased, and PI3K expression, the phosphorylation of AKT and nuclear NF-κB level were also decreased.

conclusionCurcumin attenuates high glucose-induced inflammatory injury through the reactive oxygen species-PI3K/AKT-NF-κB signaling pathway in rat thoracic aorta endothelial cells.
