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

objectivesTo investigate the effect of

methodsWistar rats were gavaged with 15, 30, or 60 g/kg WHT and normal saline for 7 consecutive days to prepare low-, medium-, or high-concentration WHT-medicated sera and blank serum, respectively. Human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HDMECs) in routine culture were treated with the sera from SSc patients to establish an SSc cell model. The cells were treated with the blank serum, low-, medium-, or high-concentration WHT-medicated sera, or blank serum combined with EGCG (a Sema3A inhibitor). The changes in cell proliferation, migration and angiogenesis were assessed using CCK-8 assay, wound-healing assay and Matrigel tube formation assay, and the mRNA and protein expressions of Sema3A, Nrp1, VEGFA, CD31 and α-SMA were analyzed using qRT-PCR and Western blotting.

resultsHDMECs treated with the serum from SSc patients exhibited significantly reduced cell proliferation and migration rates, increased α-SMA, Sema3A and VEGFA protein and mRNA expression levels, decreased CD31 and Nrp1 protein and mRNA expression levels, and suppressed angiogenesis. In SSc serum-induced cells, treatments with low-, medium-, or high-concentration WHT-medicated sera or EGCG all significantly improved cell survival and migration rates, reduced α-SMA, Sema3A and VEGFA protein and mRNA expression levels, enhanced CD31 and Nrp1 protein and mRNA expressions, and promoted angiogenesis of the cells.

conclusionsWHT promotes angiogenesis of SSc sera-induced HDMECs by modulating the Sema3A/Nrp1 signaling pathway.
