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

In this study, we intend to explore the potential function of l-ascorbic acid in hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R)-induced damage of CMECs and its related molecular mechanism. With different concentrations of l-ascorbic acid treatment, the proliferation, migration, inflammation and autophagy of cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (CMECs) were determined by several biological experiments. Si-HMGB1 transfection was used to reduce HMGB1 expression and to detect the function of HMGB1 in H/R-induced damage of CMECs. Under H/R condition, the proliferation and migration abilities of CMECs were reduced, and the inflammation and autophagy of CMECs were increased. Whereas, after l-ascorbic acid treatment, the reduction in the proliferation and migration of CMECs, as well as the increase in the inflammation and autophagy of CMECs induced by H/R were reversely altered. HMGB1 was confirmed as a specific target of l-ascorbic acid, and si-HMGB1 treatment strengthened the beneficial effect of l-ascorbic acid on H/R-induced damage of CMECs, followed by further reduction in the proliferation and migration abilities of CMECs, as well as the increase in the inflammation and autophagy of CMECs. Few studies have reported the function of l-ascorbic acid in myocardial ischemia on CMECs, but our experimental data showed that l-ascorbic acid treatment could ameliorate the H/R-induced damage of CMECs by regulating HMGB1 expression.
