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

Compound 3R-(4'-hydroxyl-3'-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl phenyl)-dihydro isocoumarin (GDC) is a natural isocoumarin, recently isolated from the stems of H. paniculiflorum. However, we know little about the effects of GDC on rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study aims to investigate the protective effects and potential mechanisms of GDC against LPS-induced inflammation in vitro. Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) obtained from synovial tissue of rats were induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and treated with GDC. Cell viability was determined by mitochondrial-respiration-dependent3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium (MTT) assay. Secretion of various inflammatory mediators was analyzed by ELISA and RayBio® Rat Cytokine Antibody Array. Potential mechanisms that are associated with anti-inflammatory effect were examined by Western blot. Results showed that GDC significantly inhibited the production of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin- (IL-) 6 induced by LPS. GDC also reduced the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β, as well as proinflammatory cytokines such as activin A, ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), fractalkine, IFN-γ, IL-4, and TIMP-1. Moreover, GDC inhibited LPS-induced phosphorylation of extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK1/2), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (p38), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and IκB. And GDC also blocked NF-κBp65 nuclear translocation. All the results suggested that the protective effects of GDC against LPS-induced inflammation in vitro may be related with NF-κB and JNK signaling pathway.
