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

Endothelial dysfunction is a key pathophysiological step in early stage diabetes mellitus (DM) macrovascular complications and is also crucial in the inflammatory mechanisms of macrovascular complications. However, there is currently no effective intervention to improve endothelial dysfunction associated with DM macrovascular complications. Astragaloside IV (AS‑IV), which can be extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine Astragalus membranaceus, has potential therapeutic effects on DM and its complications. The present study evaluated the effect of AS‑IV on high glucose‑induced human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) injury and its possible mechanism. The result indicated that AS‑IV has a significant protective effect on high glucose‑induced HUVEC injury. AS‑IV could significantly promote cell proliferation, reduce apoptosis and decrease the protein and mRNA expression levels of tumor necrosis factor‑α and interleukin‑1β in HUVECs. Furthermore, AS‑IV could decrease the expression of phosphorylated c‑Jun NH2‑terminal kinase (JNK) phosphorylated apoptosis signal‑regulating kinase 1, cytochrome c, cleaved‑caspase‑9, cleaved‑caspase‑3 and the relative ratio of B‑cell lymphoma‑2 associated X protein/B‑cell lymphoma‑2 in HUVECs. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that AS‑IV could suppress apoptosis and inflammatory reactions promoted by high glucose conditions in HUVECs by inhibiting the JNK signaling pathway. These findings suggest that AS‑IV could inhibit the process of endothelial dysfunction in diabetic macrovascular complications.
