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

backgroundThe study was conducted to scrutinize the outcome of isoliquiritigenin (ISL) against cerebral injury in septic mice.

methodsThe sepsis was introduced using cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) method in experimental mice. The effect of ISL was quantified using the content of brain water and blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability. The effect on the levels of myeloperoxidase (MPO), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) in brain homogenates was also determined. The effect of ISL on the levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 in serum was also estimated. The levels of various inflammatory biomarkers (COX-2 and PGE2) were also studied. The expression of NF-κB signalling cascade and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was estimated by Western blot.

resultsCompared with CLP group, the brain water content was found to be reduced significantly together with the enhanced BBB integrity in ISL treated group. The level of MDA was reduced together with enhanced level of SOD and GSH in the ISL treated group. The levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 were also found to be modulated in ISL group. The level of COX-2 and PGE2 was reduced to near normal after ISL administration together with increase in the IκBα expression and reduction of p65 and p-p65 expression in a concentration-dependent manner. The expression of iNOS was also found to be reduced in ISL group.

conclusionThese results demonstrate that ISL causes protection of CLP-induced sepsis in experimental mice via multiple pathways.
