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

objectiveThe purpose of the present study was to investigate the specific downstream signaling pathway mediated by PI3K/Akt in resveratrol (RES) anti-apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs). MATERIALS AND

methodsHuman NPCs were cultured and divided into six groups. Interleukin (IL)-1β was used to induce apoptosis and RES to inhibit apoptosis. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis was used to test apoptotic incidence of NPCs, cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was performed to detect cell viability, The expression level of caspase-3 mRNA was detected by RT-qPCR, and protein levels were determined by Western blot.

resultsFlow cytometry analysis showed that IL-1β increased the apoptosis rate of NPCs in each group, and RES significantly decreased the apoptosis rate, while rapamycin (RAPA) and SB216763 inhibited the effect of RES and increased the apoptosis rate again. Similarly, CCK-8 showed that IL-1β decreased activity of NPCs in each group, while RES increased cell activity, RAPA and SB216763 inhibited the effect of RES and decreased cell activity. RT-qPCR results showed IL-1β significantly increased the level of caspase-3 expression, but it was significantly decreased by using RES, RAPA and SB216763 respectively attenuated effects of RES. Western blot results showed that activated caspase-3 was inhibited by RES effect, and was up-regulated again after the addition of RAPA and SB216763. In addition, p-mTOR and p-GSK-3β were up-regulated by RES and down-regulated by RAPA and SB216763.

conclusionRES can inhibit apoptosis induced by IL-1β in human NPCs. PI3K/Akt/mTOR/caspase-3 and PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β/caspase-3 pathways are potential mechanisms underlying this process.
