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

Taoren Honghua drug is a traditional Chinese medicinal drug used to treat cardiovascular disease. The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of Taoren Honghua drug on inflammation and atherosclerosis in ApoE knock-out mice and RAW264.7 cells. ApoE knock-out mice fed with high fat diet for 8 weeks were randomly divided into five groups and then continued the high fat diet, or plus Taoren Honghua drug at concentrations of 3.63, 1.815, and 0.9075 g/ml, or plus Simvastatin at 2.57 mg/kg. RAW 264.7 cells were intervened with lipopolysaccharide or lipopolysaccharide plus different concentrations of Taoren Honghua drug. Compared to mice only with high fat diet, mice with high fat diet and Taoren Honghua drug showed lower body weight, triglyceride, cholesterol, IL-6 and TNF-α, smaller plaque sizes, less lymph vessel, and T cell contents of lymph nodes, but higher IL-10 level. In RAW264.7 cells, groups with LPS plus Taoren Honghua drug had lower IL-6 and TNF-α, but higher IL-10 than LPS group, as revealed by PCR or ELISA methods. A decrease of total or phosphorylated ERK1/2, JNK, p38, ERK5, STAT3, and AKT were detected, so was the translocation of NF-κB p65 from nuclear to cytoplasm. These results suggested that Taoren Honghua drug could attenuate atherosclerosis and play an anti-inflammatory role
