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

backgroundTLR4 signaling is known to be involved in podocyte injury. We have previously shown that Salvia przewalskii extract of total phenolic acids (SPE) and its active monomer salvianolic acid B (SalB) and rosmarinic acid (RA) protect podocytes from injury induced by PAN. In the present study, we test whether SPE inhibits TLR4 signaling.

methodsThe conditionally immortalized mouse podocytes were treated with SPE, SalB, RA, SalB + RA or tacrolimus for 30 min, followed by PAN (100 μg/mL) for 24 h. The F-actin staining with phalloidin was used to assess cytoskeletal injury in the podocytes. Western blotting and semi-quantitatives RT-PCR were used to assess the changes of the components in the TLR4 signaling pathway.

results(1) The F-actin stress fibers of podocytes were almost completely disrupted after PAN treatment for 24 h, and the disruption was significantly alleviated by SPE; (2) the PAN-induced elevation of mRNA levels of TLR4, MyD88 and p65 were inhibited except p65 with high-dose SalB; (3) consistently, the protein levels of TLR4, MyD88 and pp65 were significantly elevated by PAN, and SPE, SalB, RA and admixture, respectively, attenuated the elevations of TLR4 and pp65 proteins; (4) SPE and tacrolimus have a similarly strong effect on inhibition of the expression of TLR4 signaling components.

conclusionsSPE protects podocytes from PAN-induced injury at least partly through inhibiting TLR4 signaling. SPE is as strong as tacrolimus in inhibiting TLR4 signaling in podocytes.
