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

Arctiin is a lignin isolated from Arctium lappa which has been known to have anti-viral and anti-inflammatory effects. The aim of this study is to explore the protective effect of arctiin on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory responses in acute lung injury (ALI) model of mice. Male BALB/c mice were pretreated with commercial arctiin (10, 20, and 40 mg/kg) 1 h prior to LPS challenge. Twelve hours later, airway inflammation was assessed. We assessed the effects of arctiin on the LPS-induced production of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). The lung wet-to-dry weight ratio, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, and inflammatory signaling pathway were also detected. Our results showed that arctiin not only significantly ameliorated LPS-stimulated lung histopathological changes but also reduced the lung MPO activity. Arctiin also dramatically decreased the production of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in the BALF. In addition, arctiin significantly inhibited LPS-induced PI3K/Akt phosphorylation as well as NF-κB activation. In conclusion, our results suggested that arctiin protected against LPS-induced ALI through inhibiting PI3K/AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway.
