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

Chronic periodontitis is an inflammatory disease characterized by inflammation of the soft tissues of the gums. To combat this disease, more effective drugs are still needed to identify and develop. Isoimperatorin is a kind of a natural compound, which has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antitumor, antivirus, and other pharmacological effects. However, its possible effects on the progression of chronic periodontitis are still unclear. In this study, we used human periodontal membrane fibroblasts (hPDLCs), human bone marrow-derived macrophages, and found that isoimperatorin reduced hPDLCs viability. In addition, isoimperatorin alleviated the oxidative stress of periodontal membrane cells. Isoimperatorin reduced proinflammatory factor secretion and receptor activator for nuclear factor-κB ligand-induced osteoclast differentiation in periodontal membrane cells. Further, isoimperatorin inhibited the activation of ERK1/2 and nuclear factor-κB pathways. We, therefore, thought isoimperatorin could serve as a promising drug for the treatment of this disease.
