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

backgroundThis study aimed to investigate whether the oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) antibody is able to inhibit THP1 cell apoptosis by suppressing NF-κB pathway.

methodsTHP1 cells were induced to macrophages with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Macrophages were divided into control group, Ox-LDL group and antibody group, cells in which were treated with phosphate buffered saline (PBS), Ox-LDL (50 mg/mL), Ox-LDL (50 µg/mL) plus Ox-LDL antibody (100 mg/L), respectively, for 24 h. The apoptosis rate was determined by inverted microscopy and flow cytometry. The protein and mRNA expression of NF-κB (P65), caspase-3 and BCL2 was detected by Western blotting and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), respectively.

resultsThe apoptosis rate reduced significantly in antibody group as compared to Ox-LDL and control groups (P<0.05). The protein and mRNA expression of NF-κB pathway was markedly lowered in antibody group than in Ox-LDL and control groups (P<0.05), which reduced the Ox-LDL induced inflammation.

conclusionsOx-LDL antibody may be used to attenuate Ox-LDL induced inflammation and apoptosis, preventing atherosclerosis patients from acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
