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

purposeTo scrutinize the protective effect of alpinumisoflavone against the acute reflux esophagitis (RE) in the rats and to explore the underlying mechanism.

methodsRAW 264.7 cells were used for in-vitro study, and MTT assay was used to access the cell viability. The cells were treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and estimation the inflammatory cytokines and parameters. A surgical procedure was performed for the induction of RE followed by the oral administration of alpinumisoflavone (5, 10 and 15 mg/kg). The esophagitis lesion score, gross esophageal score, damage ratio, pH and gastric volume, NO level, alcian blue, H2O2, free iron, calcium, antioxidant, inflammatory cytokines and inflammatory parameters were estimated.

resultsAlpinumisoflavone treatment significantly (p < 0.001) suppressed cell viability and NO levels, along with a reduction in inflammatory cytokines like tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and inflammatory parameters such as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), prostaglandin E22 (PGE2), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) against the LPS treatment. Alpinumisoflavone treated group rats suppressed the esophagitis lesion score, gross esophageal score damage ratio, and gastric volume and improved the pH level. Alpinumisoflavone treatment significantly (p < 0.001) suppressed the level of NO level, alcian blue, H2O2, free iron and calcium. Alpinumisoflavone significantly (p < 0.001) altered the level of antioxidant parameters such as malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase, glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, catalase; inflammatory cytokines viz., TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, IL-10, IL-18; and inflammatory parameters including COX-2, NF-κB, and PGE2.

conclusionAlpinumisoflavone ameliorates the acute reflux esophagitis via suppression of inflammatory parameters.
