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

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of a novel spirocyclopiperazinium salt compound LXM-15, and explore the underlying mechanisms.

methodsXylene-induced mouse ear oedema and carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema tests were used to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of LXM-15. The protein levels of TNF-α, IL-6, phosphorylation of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) were detected by ELISA or Western blot analysis. Additionally, receptor blocking test was performed to explore the possible target.

resultsIntragastric administration with LXM-15 (2, 1, 0.5 mg/kg in mice, and 6, 3, 1.5 mg/kg in rats) produced distinct anti-inflammatory effects in vivo, the highest inhibition percentage was 60 and 52%, respectively (P < 0.01). Following treatment with LXM-15 (6 mg/kg, i.g.), the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in the rats paws were attenuated by 40 and 41%; and the phosphorylation of JAK2 and STAT3 was restrained by 35 and 45%, respectively (P < 0.01). All effects of LXM-15 were blocked by pretreatment with methyllycaconitine citrate or tropicamide.

conclusionThis study provides the first report that the spirocyclopiperazinium salt compound LXM-15 displays considerable anti-inflammatory effects. The underlying mechanism may be through activating the peripheral α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and M4 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, leading to the inhibition of the JAK2/STAT3 signalling pathway, eventually resulting in the reduction of TNF-α and IL-6.
