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

Shufeng Jiedu capsule (SFJDC) is a traditional Chinese medicine, which has been used for the treatment of respiratory infections for more than thirty years in Hunan (China). SFJDC protected rats against LPS-induced acute lung injury (ALI); however, the molecular mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of SFJDC remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed at analyzing the major anti-inflammatory compounds of SFJDC and exploring the underlying molecular mechanisms. SFJDC dissolved in water was fingerprinted by UPLC/Q-TOF. Inflammation response was assessed by histopathological examination and ELISA assay. Arterial blood gases were also analyzed to evaluate the function of rat lungs. The expression levels of Kelch-like ECH-associating protein 1 (Keap1), Nrf2, heme oxygenase-1 (HO1), Cullin 3 (CUL3) and NQO1 were analyzed by Western blotting. Results indicated that SFJDC alleviated inflammation response by reducing the level of inflammatory cytokines, and upregulation of glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in lung tissues. Furthermore, SFJDC suppressed LPS-induced upregulation of Keap 1 and CUL3 in rat lungs. The expression of NRF2 HO1 and NQO1 were further upregulated by SFJDC in the presence of LPS, indicating that SFJDC might activate the NRF2-associated antioxidant pathway. In conclusion, SFJDC treatment may protect the rat lungs from LPS by alleviating the inflammation response via NRF2-associated antioxidant pathway.
