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

This study explored the in vitro alleviation of the soluble and non-digestible Chinese yam polysaccharides (YP) with covalent selenite-grafting on the nonylphenol-induced cytotoxicity and barrier damage in rat intestinal epithelial (IEC-6) cells. Two grafted products YPSe-I and particularly YPSe-II possessed much higher Se contents than YP (0.803 and 1.486 versus 0.037 g/kg), could alleviate the cytotoxicity of nonylphenol by causing higher cell viability but lower lactate dehydrogenase release and ROS production, and were capable of repairing the induced barrier damage through increasing transepithelial electrical resistance, reducing paracellular permeability, promoting the production and distribution of cytoskeleton F-actin, and up-regulating the expression levels of three tight junction proteins namely zonula occludens-1, occludin, and claudin-1. Meanwhile, the expression levels of two proteins namely p-p38 and p-JNK in the cells, which are crucial to the activation of the MAPK signaling pathway, were up-regulated by nonylphenol but down-regulated by YPSe-I and YPSe-II. The results consistently confirmed that YP and YPSe-II exhibited the respective lowest and highest activities in the cells to alleviate the nonylphenol-induced cytotoxicity and barrier damage, declaring that both YP selenization and higher selenite-grafting extent were the critical factors controlling the measured activities of YPSe-I and YPSe-II. Collectively, this selenite-grafting of YP endowed the selenized products with higher activity in the cells to reduce nonylphenol-induced cytotoxicity, especially to alleviate the induced barrier damage by inactivating the MAPK signaling pathway.
