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

Parkia speciosa Hassk is a plant found abundantly in the Southeast Asia region. Its seeds, with or without pods, have been used in traditional medicine locally to treat cardiovascular problems. The pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases involves inflammation and oxidative stress. Based on this information, we sought to investigate the potential protective effects of Parkia speciosa empty pod extract (PSE) on inflammation in cardiomyocytes exposed to tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). H9c2 cardiomyocytes were divided into four groups; negative control, TNF-α, PSE + TNF-α and quercetin + TNF-α. Groups 3 and 4 were pretreated with PSE ethyl acetate fraction of ethanol extract (500 µg/mL) or quercetin (1000 µM, positive control) for 1 h before inflammatory induction with TNF-α (12 ng/mL) for 24 h. TNF-α increased protein expression of nuclear factor kappa B cell (NFκB) p65, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK), inducible nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase-2 and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 when compared to the negative control (p < 0.05). It also elevated iNOS activity, nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species levels. These increases were significantly reduced with PSE and quercetin pretreatments. The effects of PSE were comparable to that of quercetin. PSE exhibited anti-inflammatory properties against TNF-α-induced inflammation in H9c2 cardiomyocytes by modulating the NFκB and p38 MAPK pathways.
