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

High glucose (HG)‑induced endothelial apoptosis serves an important role in the vascular dysfunction associated with diabetes mellitus (DM). It has been reported that isoquercitrin (IQC), a flavonoid glucoside, possesses an anti‑DM effect, but the mechanism requires further investigation. The present study investigated the effect of IQC against HG‑induced apoptosis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and explored its molecular mechanism. HUVECs were treated with 5 or 30 mM glucose for 48 h. Endothelial cell viability was monitored using the Cell Counting Kit‑8 assay. Mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by JC‑1 staining. Apoptosis was observed by TUNEL staining and flow cytometry. Western blotting was used for the analysis of apoptosis‑associated proteins Bax, Bcl‑2, cleaved (C)‑caspase3, total‑caspase3, p53 and phosphorylated p53. Reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR was used to analyze the mRNA expression levels of Bax, Bcl‑2 and p53. Immunofluorescence staining was utilized to detect the expression levels and distribution of p53 and ubiquitin specific peptidase 10 (USP10) in HUVECs. The results revealed that IQC significantly attenuated HG‑induced endothelial apoptosis, as shown by decreased apoptotic cells observed by TUNEL, JC‑1 staining and flow cytometry. Moreover, under HG stress, IQC treatment markedly inhibited the increased expression levels of the pro‑apoptotic proteins p53, Bax and C‑caspase3, and increased the expression levels of the anti‑apoptotic protein Bcl‑2 in HUVECs. However, the anti‑apoptotic effect of IQC against HG was partially blunted by increasing p53 protein levels
