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

objectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate the function of the reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mitochondrial pathway in attenuating Escherichia coli (E. coli) induced apoptosis in bovine endometrial epithelial cells (BENDs) by Lactobacillus rhamnosus (L. rhamnosus) GR-1.

methodsThe BENDs were exposed to preincubation with and without L. rhamnosus GR-1 for 3 hours (h) and they were later subject to E. coli for 6 h. The release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), the expression of oxidative factors, adhesion and invasion of E. coli, the expression of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), apoptotic rate and apoptosis-associated protein expression were observed. Then, ROS expression, MMP level and cell rate apoptosis rate were further detected after the intervention of antioxidant n-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC).

resultsL. rhamnosus GR-1 was capable of obviously alleviating the content of LDH, ROS expression, E. coli adhesion and invasion, the apoptotic rate and MDA concentrations in BENDs induced by E. coli (p<0.01). In addition, L. rhamnosus GR-1 could notably promote the levels of antioxidant factors (SOD, GSH, T-AOC) (p<0.01), inhibit the depolarization of MMP (p<0.01), and levels of apoptosis-related factors (Bax, Caspase-3 and Cyt-c), and promote anti-apoptosis factor (Bcl-2) (p<0.01). Moreover, after the intervention of antioxidant NAC, ROS expression, MMP depolarization, and apoptotic rate induced by E. coli in BENDs were decreased (p<0.01).

conclusionIn E. coli-induced apoptosis in BENDs, therapeutic strategies aimed at down-regulating ROS and MDA and up-regulating antioxidant factors may maintain mitochondrial function and provide theoretical support for the use of probiotics in bovine endometritis.
