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

backgroundAtherosclerosis and inflammation are more common in patients with diabetes than in patients without diabetes, and atherosclerosis progression contributes to inflammation. Therefore, anti-inflammatory therapy is important for the prognosis of patients with diabetes. Linagliptin is the only bile-excreted, anti-diabetic oral dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor. Although the anti-inflammatory effects of DPP-4 inhibitors in vivo and in vitro have been reported, few in vitro studies have examined the effects of linagliptin using monocytes, which play a central role in arteriosclerosis-related inflammation. Herein, we assessed the anti-inflammatory effects of linagliptin in human U937 monocytes.

methodsU937 cells at densities of 1 × 10

resultsLPS alone significantly increased IL-6 and TNF-α production compared with the control treatment. The treatment of cells with linagliptin at all concentrations significantly inhibited the LPS-stimulated IL-6 and TNF-α production. Meanwhile, IL-1β alone significantly increased IL-6 production compared with the control treatment. No significant difference in IL-6 production was noted between the cells treated with IL-1β and simultaneous treatment with IL-1β and linagliptin.

conclusionsLinagliptin inhibited LPS-induced inflammation in human monocytic U937 cells.
