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

Scutellariae Radix (SR), also named Huangqin in China, is the dried root of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi. Historically, the usage of SR was targeted to against inflammation. In fact, chronic inflammation has a close relationship with hypoxia and abnormal angiogenesis in tumor cells. Hence, we would like to probe the water extract of SR in suppressing the inflammation-induced angiogenesis. Prior to determine the pharmaceutical values of SR, the first step is to analysis the chemical compositions of SR according to China Pharmacopeia (2015). From the results, the amount of baicalin was 12.6% by weight. Furthermore, the anti-angiogenic properties of SR water extract were evaluated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) pre-treated cultured macrophage RAW 264.7 cells by detecting the inflammatory markers, i.e. Cox-2, cytokine and iNOS, as well as the translocation activity of NFκB and angiogenic biomarker, i.e. VEGF. This herbal extract was capable of declining both inflammatory and angiogenic hallmarks in a concentration-dependent manner. Moreover, the SR-derived flavonoids, i.e. baicalin, baicalein, wogonin and wogonoside, were shown to be active chemicals in the anti-inflammatory-induced angiogenesis. Therefore, the inflammation-induced angiogenesis is believed to be suppressed by SR water extract, or its major ingredients. These results shed light in the benefiting role of SR in the inflammation-induced angiogenesis in vitro.
