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

Luteoloside is a flavonoid extracted from several natural herbs that exhibits anti-microbial and anti-inflammation properties. Our study mainly identified the anti-inflammatory mechanism of action of luteoloside in Staphylococcus aureus-induced endometritis. Histopathological observations and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity showed that luteoloside could protect the uterus from S. aureus-induced damage and ameliorate the infiltration of inflammatory cells. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) and ELISA analysis also revealed that luteoloside could decrease the expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 and increase the expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 both in vivo and in vitro. However, western blot analysis revealed that luteoloside inhibited the expression of TLR2 and IL-8 and inhibited the phosphorylation of IκBα and NF-κB p65. Moreover, luteoloside inhibited the apoptosis of endometrial epithelial cells (EECs), suppressed the phosphorylation of p53, and decreased the expression of caspase-3 induced by S. aureus. Furthermore, this study showed that luteoloside inhibited the expression of Bax but increased the expression of Bcl-2. These results indicate that luteoloside has anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting the TLR2 and NF-κB signaling pathways and plays an anti-apoptotic role in S. aureus-induced endometritis, which may be valuable for the clinical treatment of S. aureus-induced inflammation.
