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

backgroundSecreted frizzled-related protein 5 (SFRP5) is an endogenous inhibitor of Wnt5a (wingless-type family member 5a), which has been implicated in anti-inflammatory response. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether SFRP5 could protect chondrocytes against LPS-induced inflammation and apoptosis.

methodsATDC5 cells that overexpressed with SFRP5 or not were challenged with LPS to observe the effects of SFRP5 overexpression on LPS-triggered inflammation and apoptosis as well as Wnt5a/JNK activation. Wnt5a was elevated in ATDC5 cells in the presence of SFRP5 overexpression, to determine whether Wnt5a/JNK signaling was involved in the actions of SFRP5.

resultsThe mRNA and protein levels of SFRP5 was significantly reduced by LPS in a concentration-dependent manner. Overexpression of SFRP5 in ATDC5 cells inhibited LPS-induced inflammation and apoptosis, as evidenced by decreased production of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and ROS, together with a reduced ratio of TUNEL-positive cells, a lower expression of Bax and cleaved caspase 3, but a higher expression of Bcl-2. Meanwhile, SFRP5 overexpression also repress Wnt5a and phosphorylated JNK expression. However, the overexpression of Wnt5a considerably weakened the inhibitory effect of SFRP5 on LPS-triggered inflammation and apoptosis. Besides, the level of Wnt5a and JNK phosphorylation, which was inhibited by SFRP5 overexpression, was also partially recovered by Wnt5a overexpression.

conclusionSFRP5 could alleviate LPS-induced ATDC5 cell inflammation and apoptosis; these actions may rely on repressing Wnt5a/JNK activation.
