β-Cyclodextrin Inhibits Monocytic Adhesion to Endothelial Cells through Nitric Oxide-Mediated Depletion of Cell Adhesion Molecules.

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.
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
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are used as drug delivery agents. In this study, we examined whether CDs have an inflammatory effect on endothelial cells. First, we found that β-CD promoted cell proliferation in bovine aortic endothelial cells and elevated nitric oxide (NO) production through dephosphorylation of threonine-495 (T-495) in endothelial nitric oxide synthetase (eNOS). Dephosphorylation of T-495 is known to activate eNOS. Phosphorylation of T-495 was found to be catalyzed by protein kinase Cε (PKCε). We then found that β-CD inhibits binding of PKCε to diacylglycerol (DAG) via formation of a β-CD-DAG complex, indicating that β-CD inactivates PKCε. Furthermore, β-CD controls activation of PKCε by reducing the recruitment of PKCε into the plasma membrane. Finally, β-CD inhibits expression of intercellular and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 by increasing NO via control of PKCε/eNOS and suppression of THP-1 cell adhesion to endothelial cells. These findings imply that β-CD plays an important role in anti-inflammatory processes.
