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

Curcumin, a natural polyphenol compound, has the beneficial effects on several diseases such as metabolic syndrome, cancer, and diabetes. The anti-inflammatory property of curcumin has been demonstrated in different cells; however, its role in prevention of palmitate-induced inflammation in skeletal muscle C2C12 cells is not known. In this study, we examined the effect of curcumin on the inflammatory responses stimulated by palmitate in C2C2 cells. The results showed that palmitate upregulated the mRNA expression and protein release of IL-6 and TNF-α cytokines in C2C12 cells, while pretreatment with curcumin was able to attenuate the effect of palmitate on inflammatory cytokines. The anti-inflammatory effect of curcumin was associated with the repression of phosphorylation of IKKα-IKKβ, and JNK. Palmitate also caused an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) level that curcumin abrogated it. Collectively, these findings suggest that curcumin may represent a promising therapy for prevention of inflammation in skeletal muscle cells.
