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

AIMS/

introductionTanshinone IIA (TIIA) is one of the main components of the root of the red-rooted Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying TIIA-mediated protective effects in diabetic nephropathy (DN) are still unclear. MATERIALS AND

methodsHigh glucose (HG)-induced mouse podocyte cell line (MPC5) cells were used as the in vitro model of DN and treated with TIIA. Cell viability, proliferation and apoptosis were detected using 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine and flow cytometry assays. The protein levels were assessed using western blot assay. The levels of inflammatory factors were deleted by enzyme-linked immunoassay. Fe

resultsTIIA repressed HG-induced MPC5 cell apoptosis, inflammatory response and ferroptosis. ACSL4 upregulation relieved the repression of TIIA on HG-mediated MPC5 cell injury and ferroptosis. ELAVL1 is bound with ACSL4 to positively regulate the stability of ACSL4 messenger ribonucleic acid. TIIA hindered HG-triggered MPC5 cell injury and ferroptosis by regulating the ELAVL1-ACSL4 pathway. TIIA blocked DN progression in in vivo research.

conclusionTIIA treatment restrained HG-caused MPC5 cell injury and ferroptosis partly through targeting the ELAVL1-ACSL4 axis, providing a promising therapeutic target for DN treatment.
