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

Chronic inflammation is a fundamental symptom of many diseases. Catechin possesses anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the mechanism of catechin to prevent inflammation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes caused by TNF-α remains unknown. Therefore, the effects of catechin on the gene expression of cytokines and the activation of cell signals in TNF-α induced 3T3-L1 adipocytes were investigated. The effects of catechin on adipogenesis and cell viability were detected by Oil Red O staining and CCK-8 assay, respectively. The genes expression of cytokines was determined by real-time RT-PCR. The expression of NF-κB, AMPK, FOXO3a and SIRT1 on translation level was determined by western blotting analysis. The results demonstrated that catechin significantly enhanced adipogenesis and cell viability. catechin inhibited the gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12p35, and inflammatory enzymes including iNOS and COX-2, but enhanced the gene expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines including IL-4 and IL-10. Catechin also inhibited the activation of NF-κB, AMPK, FOXO3a and SIRT1, but increased the phosphorylation level of the above factors. All these results indicated that as a potential therapeutic strategy catechin has the ability of attenuating inflammatory response triggered by TNF-α through signaling cascades involved in inflammation and cytokines.
