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

purposeObesity and diabetes are often accompanied by chronic inflammation and insulin resistance, which lead to complications such as diabetic cardiomyopathy. Ginsenoside Rb1 has been used to treat diabetes and obesity and reduce inflammation as well as risk of heart diseases. However, the role of ginsenoside Rb1 in treating diabetic cardiomyopathy remains unclear.

methodsDiabetic mice were administered ginsenoside Rb1 for 12 weeks, and their body weight, body fat, and blood glucose levels as well as and serum insulin, lipids, and adipocytokine levels were assessed. Lipid accumulation, pathological morphology of the adipose tissue, liver, and heart were examined. Western blot and qRT-PCR were performed to investigate the molecular changes in response to ginsenoside Rb1 treatment.

resultsGinsenoside Rb1 treatment significantly reduced body weight and body fat, attenuated hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia, and ameliorated insulin resistance and abnormal levels of adipocytokines in diabetic mice. In addition, lipid accumulation and inflammation reduced while the functions of heart improved in the ginsenoside Rb1-treated group. Furthermore, antioxidant function improved in the ginsenoside Rb1-treated diabetic hearts. PCR and Western blotting analyses revealed that the lipid-lowering effect of ginsenoside Rb1 and the resulting improvement of cardiac function could be attributed to the adipocytokine pathway, which promoted energy homeostasis and alleviated cardiac dysfunction.

conclusionGinsenoside Rb1 lowered lipid levels in a adipocytokine-mediated manner and attenuated hyperglycemia/hyperlipidemia-induced oxidative stress, hypertrophy, inflammation, fibrosis, and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes.
