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

backgroundLoquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) fruit has been used as a heath food and folk medicine for preventing and treating the respiratory tract inflammation diseases, however, the active compounds responsible for anti-inflammation effects remain unclear.

methodsCysteinyl leukotriene receptor-1 (CysLTR1) has become an important target protein for developing therapeutics to manage the inflammation-associated diseases. Herein, a rapid approach was established by immobilizing CysLTR1 onto microspheres for the column packing, and it was applied in screening the active compounds from Loquat fruit.

resultsThe screened compounds targeting CysLTR1 were identified as corosolic acid, ursolic acid and oleanolic acid in combination with Mass Spectrum. The high-dose combination of the three ones exhibited the stronger anti-inflammatory activity than triterpene acid alone and the Loquat extract, which can significantly decrease the counts of inflammatory cells and inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory mediators as well as increase the secretion of anti-inflammatory mediator in the LPS-inflamed mice. It was proved that three triterpene acids exhibited anti-inflammatory activities by the attenuation of CysLTR1 expression.

conclusionsOur results indicated that CysLTR1-immobilized column was a rapid and effective tool to seek out the target-specific components from herbal extract, and the screened triterpene acids could serve as alternative anti-inflammatory agents to Loquat fruit.
