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

objectiveEpidemiology studies indicate that green tea polyphenols (GTP) perform a protective effect on cardiovascular diseases, but the underlying mechanisms are complex. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of GTP on high-fat diets (HFD) induced-early vascular aging.

methodsSix-week young adult Wistar rats were fed with standard chow or HFD in the presence and absence of GTP (200 mg/kg body weight) for 18 weeks. In vitro experiment, human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) were treated with palmitic acid (PA) and GTP.

resultsThe results showed that GTP alleviated the disorganized arterial wall and the increased intima-media thickness induced by HFD. In addition, the vascular oxidative injury was suppressed following GTP treatment. Furthermore, GTP elevated the ratio of LC3-II/LC3-I and suppressed expression of p62/SQSTM1, and restored SIRT3 expression in the aorta of HFD rats. Consistently, in cultured HUVECs, GTP inhibited cell senescence indicated by SA-β-gal and promoted endothelial autophagy compared with the PA treatment group. The activity of SIRT3 was specifically inhibited by 3-TYP, and the protective effect of GTP was consequently abolished.

conclusionThe findings indicated that GTP protected against early vascular senescence in young HFD rats via ameliorating oxidative injury and promoting autophagy which was partially regulated by the SIRT3 pathway.
