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

backgroundTo observe the effect of the Lian-Dou-Qing-Mai (LDQM) formula on lipid metabolism in mice and explore its mechanism from the perspective of regulating the PPARγ/LXRα/ABCA1 signaling pathway.

methodsTHP-1 cells were induced to transform into foam cells with ox-LDL. Atherosclerosis (AS) models were constructed using a high-fat diet in ApoE

resultsIn the cell model, LDQM could inhibit the formation of THP-1 macrophage-derived foam cells and the expression of inflammatory factors, promote macrophage cholesterol efflux, increase the expression of IL-10, and activate the PPARγ-LXRα-ABCA1/ABCG1 pathway. Additional IL-10 treatment further promotes LDQM-induced cholesterol efflux in THP-1 cells;

conclusionLDQM may affect the PPARγ/LXRα/ABCA1 signaling pathway through IL-10, regulate lipid metabolism, reduce serum inflammatory expression and lipid deposition, and improve the formation of atheroplaques.
