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

aimTo investigate the effects of quercetin on diabetic retinopathy (DR) and its association with nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptors 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome and autophagy using retinal endothelial cell as an experimental model.

methodsHuman retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRMECs) were cultured

resultsUnder an HG condition, the viability, migration, tube formation of HRMECs, and the protein expressions of NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1, IL-1β, IL-18, LC3, and Beclin-1 as well as autophagy were all increased. Quercetin inhibited angiogenesis of HRMECs as well as the expressions of NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1, IL-1β, IL-18, LC3, Beclin-1, and autophagy of HRMECs under a HG condition. The inhibitory effects of quercetin on angiogenesis, NLRP3 inflammasome and autophagy increased with the increase of its concentration.

conclusionThe therapeutic potential of quercetin in retinal neovascularization of DR, and inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome and autophagy signaling pathway may be involved.
