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

backgroundPrevious studies found that Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharide (PSP) exhibited anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects on type 2 diabetes (T2DM). However, the roles and detailed mechanisms of PSP on the anti-diabetic osteoporosis are still poorly defined. The purpose of this study was to identify the detailed mechanisms of PSP-induced anti-diabetic osteoporosis.

methodsThe roles of PSP on diabetic osteoporosis were evaluated on a T2DM zebrafish model. Furthermore, the changes of related physiological indicators and metabolites in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) were investigated by pharmacology and metabolomic analyses.

resultsResults showed that PSP significantly reduced the blood glucose content and induced caudal fin regeneration. Metabolomic analysis found that the key metabolites involved in arachidonic acid metabolism, PPAR signaling pathway, linoleic acid metabolism, steroid hormone biosynthesis, amino acid biosynthesis and metabolism, alpha-Linolenic acid metabolism, sphingolipid signaling pathway were affected by PSP treatment. Among these, PSP reversed the trend changes of several metabolites, such as L-aspartic acid, choline, and propionylcarnitine. Besides, further changes of TNF-α and IL-1β transcripts suggested that the proinflammatory cytokines were also involved in the PSP-triggered anti-diabetic osteoporosis.

conclusionAbove findings provided the theoretical basis for the use to plant PSP as food ingredients or bioactive compounds in natural health products on diabetic osteoporosis.
