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

backgroundDiabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of impaired renal function. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Mogroside IIIE (MG IIIE), a cucurbitane-type compound isolated from

methodsMPC-5 cells were cultured under normal glucose or HG conditions. After treatment with MG IIIE, cell viability was examined using a cell counting kit-8 assay. The contents of inflammatory factors and oxidative stress-related markers were determined using the corresponding kits. Additionally, apoptosis of MPC-5 cells was determined using flow cytometry assay and the levels of apoptosis-associated proteins were evaluated by Western blot analysis. Moreover, the expression of proteins in AMPK/SIRT1 signaling was tested and the compound C, an AMPK inhibitor, was used to study whether the effects of MG IIIE on HG-induced MPC-5 cells were mediated by activation of the AMPK/SIRT1 signaling pathway.

resultsMG IIIE elevated the cell viability of HG-induced MPC-5 cells, reduced the concentrations of inflammatory cytokines and decreased the levels of oxidative stress-related markers. What's more, the apoptosis of podocytes induced by HG was inhibited after MG IIIE intervention, accompanied by the upregulated expression of Bcl-2 and downregulated expression of Bax, cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-9. It was also found that MG IIIE could activate the AMPK/SIRT1 signaling, but compound C inhibited this pathway and reversed the inhibitory effects of MG IIIE on inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis in HG-stimulated podocytes.

conclusionMG IIIE can alleviate HG-induced inflammation and oxidative stress of podocytes by the activation of AMPK-SIRT1 signaling.
