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

backgroundHuman cerebral angiostrongyliasis, induced by Angiostrongylus cantonensis, is an emerging disease in many parts of the world. A. cantonensis is also an important causative agent of eosinophilic meningitis and eosinophilic meningoencephalitis in humans. 3-Hydroxybenzaldehyde (3-HBA) and 4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde (4-HBA) have been shown to increase intracellular antioxidant activity, vasculoprotective potency, wound healing, and cell migration. However, the function of 3-HBA and 4-HBA in mouse astrocytes in response to A. cantonensis young adults excretory-secretory products (ESPs) treatment remains unclear.

methodsHere, we examined the effect of 3-HBA and 4-HBA by real-time qPCR, western blotting, and cell viability assay in astrocytes after A. cantonensis young adults ESPs treatment. The real-time qPCR, western blotting were employed to detect the expression of apoptosis- and Shh pathway-related molecule. The percentage of cell viability was monitored by CCK-8 assay.

resultsWe demonstrated that expression of apoptosis-related molecules was increased in response to A. cantonensis young adults ESPs treatment. However, the cell viability of astrocytes was elevated by treatment with 3-HBA and 4-HBA. Further investigation found that 3-HBA and 4-HBA activate the Shh signaling pathway and inhibit apoptosis-related molecule expression.

conclusionsThese findings were confirmed using A. cantonensis young adults ESPs to activate apoptosis-related pathways in astrocytes. Moreover, 3-HBA and 4-HBA induced a protective phenotype through regulation of apoptosis in response to A. cantonensis young adults ESPs treatment. Hence, 3-HBA and 4-HBA represent potential therapeutic drugs for the treatment of human angiostrongyliasis.
