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

backgroundThe progression of atherosclerosis is an ongoing struggle between cell division and cell death. Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1), a novel receptor for oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), mediates ox-LDL-induced apoptosis of monocytes. The anti-atherogenic function of plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL) includes the ability to inhibit apoptosis of macrophage, although the exact mechanism and consequences of apoptosis in the development and progression of this disease are still controversial. Thus, in the present study, the effect of normal HDL (nHDL) and reconstituted HDL (rHDL) on ox-LDL-induced cellular responses in differentiated monocytes in view of apoptosis and LOX-1 receptor expression was investigated.

methodsThe expression of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), B-cell lymphoma-extra large (Bcl-xL), caspase-3, and cytochrome c (cyt c) was assessed and substantiated in 30 hyper-LDL and control subjects. To assess the expression of LOX-1 on differentiated THP-1 cells, western blotting was carried out, followed by statistical analysis in 30 patients and control subjects.

resultsnHDL/rHDL inhibited the ox-LDL-induced apoptosis in the differentiated human monocytic cells, THP-1 cells, and differentiated monocytes of patient and control subjects. Enhanced expression of scavenger receptor, LOX-1, in the differentiated monocytes was also downregulated in presence of nHDL/rHDL. nHDL/rHDL could inhibit the ox-LDL-induced mitochondrial apoptotic pathway and aberrant expression of LOX-1 in patients. Double immunostaining using fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated ox-LDL and LOX-1 in apoptotic cells indicates its significant role in the differentiated monocytes.

conclusionIt was observed that nHDL/rHDL could promote macrophage survival by preserving mitochondrial integrity from ox-LDL-induced apoptosis.
