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

backgroundAstragaloside IV (AS-IV) is the most active monomer in the traditional Chinese herbal medicine Radix Astragali, which has a wide range of antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antifibrosis pharmacological effects, and shows protective effects in acute lung injury.

methodsThis study utilized the immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, western blot, and hematoxylin and eosin staining methods to investigate the mechanism of AS-IV in reducing viral pneumonia caused by influenza A virus in A549 cells and BALB/c mice.

resultsThe results showed that AS-IV suppressed reactive oxygen species production in influenza virus-infected A549 cells in a dose-dependent manner, and subsequently inhibited the activation of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 inflammasome and Caspase-1, decreased interleukin (IL) -1β and IL-18 secretion. In BALB/c mice infected with Poly (I:C), oral administration of AS-IV can significantly reduce Poly (I:C)-induced acute pneumonia and lung pathological injury.

conclusionsAS-IV alleviates the inflammatory response induced by influenza virus in vitro and lung flammation and structural damage caused by poly (I:C) in vivo.
