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

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of propofol on immunoglobulin (Ig)E-activated mast cell degranulation and explore the underlying mechanisms responsible. RBL-2H3 cells were treated with propofol for at a variety of concentrations and different amounts of time. Cell viability was assessed using an MTT assay and microRNA (miR)-221 expression was quantified using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. RBL-2H3 cells were transfected with miR-221 mimic or a negative control and degranulation, including the release of β-hexosaminidase and histamine, was evaluated using an ELISA kit. The effect of miR-221 overexpression on the phosphorylation of protein kinase B (Akt) was detected using western blotting and extracellular Ca
