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

background and purposeIL-1β produced by macrophages via the NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, mediates the inflammatory crosstalk between macrophages and adipocytes. In our previous study, (16S,20S,24R)-12β-acetoxy-16,23-epoxy-24,25-dihydroxy-3β-(β-D-xylopyranosyloxy)-9,19-cyclolanost-22(23)-ene (AEDC), a cycloartane triterpenoid isolated from Actaea vaginata (Ranunculaceae), was found to possess anti-inflammatory effect on LPS-treated RAW264.7 macrophages. This study was designed to investigate whether AEDC modulates macrophage-adipocyte crosstalk to alleviate adipose tissue inflammation. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: The anti-inflammatory effect of AEDC was evaluated on LPS plus ATP-induced THP-1 macrophages and C57BL/6J mice. The expression of autophagy-related and NLRP3 inflammasome complex proteins was analysed by western blots, immunofluorescence staining and co-immunoprecipitation. The pro-inflammatory cytokines levels were determined by ELISA kits. The adipose tissue inflammation was evaluated by histological analysis and immunohistochemical staining. KEY

resultsAEDC (5 and 10 μM) activated autophagy, which in turn suppressed the NLRP3 inflammasome activation and IL-1β secretion in THP-1 macrophages. AEDC increased the expression of SIRT3 deacetylase and enhanced its deacetylating activity to reverse mitochondrial dysfunction and activate AMP-activated protein kinase, which together induced autophagy. Moreover, AEDC (10 μM) attenuated macrophage conditioned medium-induced inflammatory responses in adipocytes and blocked THP-1 macrophages migration towards 3T3-L1 adipocytes. In inflammation mice, AEDC (5 and 20 mg·kg CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS: AEDC attenuated the inflammatory crosstalk between macrophages and adipocytes through SIRT3-autophagy-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition, which might used for the treatment of adipose tissue inflammation-related metabolic disorders.
