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

objectivesHigh-glucose (HG) stress, a mimic of diabetes mellitus (DM) in culture cells, alters expression of a large number of genes including Wnt and NF-κB signaling-related genes; however, the role of Wnt signaling during HG-mediated fibroblast damage and the relationship between Wnt and NF-κB signaling have not been understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the ffects of Wnt signaling on HG-mediated damages. MATERIALS AND

methodsWnt3a was treated to HG-stressed human primary foreskin fibroblasts and the levels of Wnt signaling markers and cell proliferation were monitored. In addition, Wnt3a and NF-κB signaling inhibitor were assisted to analyze the relationship between two pathways.

resultsThe results indicated that HG treatment repressed β-catenin level, and Wnt3a treatment increased the levels of β-catenin and

conclusionHG positively inhibits Wnt signaling, and signaling activation via supplementation of Wnt3a rescued the defect caused by HG. NF-κB signaling negatively regulates accumulation of β-catenin, but Wnt signaling has no effects on IκBα activation.
