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

Whether allicin can suppress the angiogenesis via inhibiting the activity of vascular endothelial cells (VECs) in preventing epidural hypertrophic scars remains unknown. VECs were treated by allicin at a gradient of concentrations. Cell activity was measured by CCK-8 assay, scratch assay and flow cytometry. Reverse-transcription PCR and Western Blot were used to measure the expression levels of relevant genes and proteins. After treated with allicin at concentrations of 0, 25, 50 and 100 mg/L, the viability of VECs significantly decreased at 24 h (p < 0.001*) and 48 h (p < 0.001*), and migration rate significantly decreased in scratch assay (p = 0.017*) and in Transwell assay (p = 0.021*). As the concentrations of allicin increased, the apoptosis rate of VECs rose up (p = 0.018*). There was no significant difference on cell numbers at S phase (p = 0.25), but cell numbers at G1 phase decreased (p = 0.039*) and at G2 phase increased (p = 0.047*). With the increase of allicin concentrations, the ability of tube formation for VECs significantly decreased (p < 0.001*). Comparing with control group, the expression of PCNA and BCL-2 decreased (p < 0.001*), while the expression of BAX increased significantly (p < 0.001*). Regarding to JAK2/STAT3 pathway, the expression levels of JAK3 and STAT3 decreased significantly with the increase of allicin concentrations (p < 0.001*). Allicin can suppress the activity of VECs probably by regulating JAK2/STAT3 pathway.
