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

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) on cell viability, apoptosis, and inflammatory cytokine levels in septic human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) were added to construct septic HUVECs, then the septic HUVECs were treated by uPA, and cell viability, apoptosis, TNF-α, IL-6, GMCSF and uPAR levels were evaluated by CCK-8, AV/PI, qPCR, western blot and ELISA, respectively. Subsequently, uPA shRNA was transferred into septic HUVECs, and the cells viability, cell apoptosis and the expressions of TNF-α, IL-6, GMCSF, as well as uPAR were assessed by the same methods. uPA promoted viability while reducingapoptosis in septic HUVECs. However, uPA had no effect on the regulation of TNF-α or IL-6 expression in septic HUVECs. In addition, uPA elevated the expressions of GMCSF and uPAR in septic HUVECs. After the transfection of uPA shRNA, cell viability was decreased, apoptosis was enhanced, and GMCSF and uPAR expressions were reduced, while TNF-α or IL-6 expression did not vary in septic HUVECs. In conclusion, uPA promotes cell viability, represses apoptosis,and has no effect on regulating inflammatory cytokines in septic HUVECs.
