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

backgroundAs a kind of disinfectant, polyhexamethylene guanidine (PHMG) can cause pulmonary inflammation. In addition to liver X receptors (LXRs) playing an important role in cholesterol and lipid metabolism, it has also been found to be involved in inflammation in recent years. This article explores the role of LXRs agonist T0901317 in the inflammation of alveolar epithelial cells induced by PHMG.

methodsThe A549 human alveolar basal epithelial cell line was exposed to PHMG, T0901317, or the nuclear factor (NF)κB inhibitor BAY11-7082. The cell survival rate was used to determine the cytotoxicity of PHMG and T0901317 to A549 cells. Western blot analysis was used to determine the expression of proteins related to the LXRs and the NFκB signaling pathway. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was conducted to examine the expression of inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-8 and interleukin (IL)-6.

resultsIncubation of A549 cells with PHMG decreased the expression of LXRs-related proteins, reduced the expression of cellular IκB, increased the expression of nuclear NFκB, and increased the levels of the inflammatory cytokineIL-8 and IL-6. However, pretreatment with the LXR agonist T0901317 partially reversed the effects of PHMG. The effects of T0901317on NFκB signaling pathway was similar to that observed with the NFκB inhibitor BAY11-7082.

conclusionsThe LXRs agonist T0901317 may reduce the inflammation of alveolar epithelial cells induced by PHMG by inhibiting the NFκB signaling pathway.
