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 oxysterone α-mangostin is isolated from mangosteen husks and is widely used in the treatment of abdominal pain, diarrhea, and dysentery. In this study, we established a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory model of rat intestinal epithelial cells (IEC-6 cells), at the same time we used differently concentration α-mangostin to detect its anti-inflammatory activity. We applied doses of α-mangostin (2.5, 5, and 10 μM) and detected apoptosis by flow cytometry, and the Griess reagent and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method detected inflammatory factors such as nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin (PG) E2, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. We also used quantitative real-time PCR (Q-PCR) to examine inflammatory factors and western blotting to examine the activation of transforming growth factor-activated kinase (TAK)-1-nuclear factor (NF)-κB signaling pathway-related proteins. Finally, we used laser confocal microscopy to detect the effect of the 10 μM α-mangostin on the nuclear import of NF-κB-p65. The results showed that α-mangostin treatment significantly reduced the apoptosis of LPS-stimulated IEC-6 cells, the production of inflammatory factors, the activation of TAK1-NF-κB signaling pathway-related proteins, and the entry of p65 into the nucleus. In conclusion, α-mangostin exerts its anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the activation of TAK1-NF-κB and it may be a potential choice for the treatment of inflammation diseases.
