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

aimTo investigate the effect of morroniside (Mor) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated iris pigment epithelial cells (IPE).

methodsIPE cells were induced by LPS and treated with Mor. Cell proliferation was detected by cell counting kit (CCK) -8, apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry, the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-8 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits, and the protein expression of TLR4, JAK2, p-JAK2, STAT3, and p-STAT3 was analyzed by Western blotting. In addition, overexpression of TLR4 and Mor treatment of LPS-stimulated IPE cells were also tested for the above indices.

resultsMor effectively promoted the proliferation and inhibited the apoptosis of LPS-treated IPE cells. In addition, Mor significantly reduced the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8 and significantly inhibited the expression of TLR4, p-JAK2, and p-STAT3 in LPS-treated IPE cells. The effect of Mor on LPS-treated IPE cells was markedly attenuated after overexpression of TLR4.

conclusionThese findings suggest that Mor may ameliorate LPS-induced inflammatory damage and apoptosis in IPE through inhibition of TLR4/JAK2/STAT3 pathway.
