Article in Zhongguo zhen jiu = Chinese acupuncture & moxibustion, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02269046 (A Multi-center, Randomized, Stratified, Active-controlled Trial to Evaluate the Effects of Acupuncture and Moxibustion for Hyperlipidemias), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

objectiveTo explore the mechanism of cake-separated moxibustion in treatment of hyperlipemia.

methodsSixty rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups, a blank group,a model group, a direct moxibustion group and a cake-separated moxibustion group. Hyperlipemia model was developed by high fat diet of cholesterol. Changes of ultrastructures of endothelial cells of the aorta of the rabbit were observed with electron microscope.

resultsThe endothelial cells in the cake-separated moxibustion group were more intact, most of them were normal in forms, internal elastic membrane was continuous, their thickness was even, the cells of smooth muscles in the medial membrane were relatively normal, which are similar to those in the blank control group. But the structure of endothelial cells of the aorta in the model group disappeared, in cytoplasm the sedimentation of a great number of lipids can be seen, internal elastic membrane was interrupted, the thickness was uneven, with focal dissolution, the cells of smooth muscle in the medial membrane had sedimentation of lipids, with frothy change.

conclusionCake-separated moxibustion has a certain protective action on endothelial cells of the aorta in the rabbit of hyperlipemia.
