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

backgroundXuebijing (XBJ) has demonstrated efficacy in alleviating clinical symptoms in sepsis patients; however, its underlying mechanism requires further investigation.

methodsIn this study, we established mouse and cardiomyocyte sepsis models using LPS. Cardiac pathological changes and ICAM1 expression were assessed through HE staining and immunohistochemistry. The expression of ICAM1, TFR1, ASCL4, TLR1, TBK1, and IFR7 was analyzed via PCR and western blotting. Cardiomyocyte survival and apoptosis were evaluated using the MTT assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Additionally, cTnI, BNP, CK-MB, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α levels, along with GSH and MDA levels, were measured.

resultsHE staining confirmed the successful construction of the LPS-induced mouse model. XBJ inhibited ICAM1 expression in myocardial tissue as well as cells. Overexpression of ICAM1 suppressed survival and GSH levels while promoting apoptosis along with increased levels of cTnI, BNP, CK-MB, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and MDA of myocardial cells. Furthermore, ICAM1 activated Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathways. Conversely, ICAM shRNA exhibited opposite effects. XBJ inhibited the overactivated TLR signaling pathway, inflammatory responses, and apoptosis induced by ICAM overexpression.

conclusionXBJ ameliorates myocardial injury in sepsis by inhibiting the ICAM-regulated TLR signaling pathway.
