Efficacy of salmeterol and magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate combination treatment in rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

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.
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
The most classic treatment recommended in the current chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) guidelines is glucocorticoid and β2 receptor agonist combination, such as salmeterol xinafoate and fluticasone propionate (Sal/Flu), causing many adverse reactions due to hormones. Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate (MgIG) is an anti-inflammatory glycyrrhizic acid preparation for treating chronic inflammation, contributing to its structure is similar to steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In this study, we successfully established COPD rat model by endotracheal-atomized lipopolysaccharide exposure and cigarette smoke induction, as characterized by lung function decline. We discovered that salmeterol xinafoate/MgIG combination could alleviated lung inflammation infiltration, airway wall thickness (AWT) and the secretion of bronchial mucin MUC5AC of COPD rats more than salmeterol xinafoate, MgIG, or salmeterol xinafoate and fluticasone propionate treatment did, as well as reduced inflammatory cells (white blood cells, neutrophils and lymphocytes) accumulation in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and decreased TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β production in the serum of COPD rats. Finally, we found that Moreover, the mechanism involved might be related to the suppression of JAK/STAT signaling pathway. Overall, our studies suggested that MgIG might be a potential alternative adjuvant drug for fluticasone propionate for the clinical treatment of patients with COPD.
