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

This study aimed to investigate whether HMGB1 (high mobility group box-1 protein) and receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) were involved in the irradiation-induced endothelial barrier damage and their mechanism. We constructed the damage model of endothelium barrier model with bEnd.3 cells. The permeability of endothelial barrier was detected by sodium fluorescein (Na-F) permeation test, and the irradiation dose which could induce permeability transition was determined by being exposed to different irradiation doses (5, 10, 15, 20 Gy). MTT assay was applied to detect cell viability under different concentrations of HMGB1, glycyrrhizic acid (GA, a specific inhibitor of HMGB1), and FPS-ZM1 (a blood-brain-barrier permeant blocker of RAGE V domain-mediated ligand binding). The expression of HMGB1, RAGE, and related molecules involved in MAPK signaling pathway, MMP-2, MMP-9, ZO-1, and claudin 5 of differently treated groups were measured by qRT-PCR, western blot, and immunofluorescence. Cells possessed stable endothelial barrier function on 4-7 days after seeded on transwell plates. The permeability of endothelial barrier would change under at least 10 Gy radiation. Both radiation and HMGB1 treatment alone could improve the permeability. After irradiation, the expressions of HMGB1 and RAGE increased and MAPK signal pathway was activated. Meanwhile, MMP-2 and MMP-9 were overexpressed, while the expression of tight junction proteins ZO-1 and claudin 5 was decreased. Radiation could activate MAPK signaling pathway through promoting the expression of HMGB1 and RAGE, which further led to endothelial barrier injury and changed its permeability.
