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

PI3K is a downstream target of multiple cell-surface receptors, which acts as a crucial modulator of both cell polarization and survival. PI3K/AKT signaling pathway is commonly involved in cancer, atherosclerosis, and other diseases. However, its role in cardiovascular diseases, especially in atherosclerosis, remains to be further investigated. To determine the effect of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway on cellular inflammatory response and oxidative stress, PI3K inhibitor (GDC0941) and AKT inhibitor (MK2206) were used. First, THP-1 cells were incubated with ox-LDL (100 µg/ml) to establish an in vitro atherosclerosis model. The inflammatory factors and foam cell formation were then evaluated to ascertain and compare the effects of PI3K and AKT inhibition. ApoE
