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

objectiveTo evaluate the effect of serum containing Jinmaitong Capsule (JMT) on apoptosis of Schwann cells (SCs) that are cultured in high glucose at the cellular and molecular levels.

methodsSCs were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (control group), high glucose (50 mmol/L) medium supplemented with 20% rat serum (HG group), and 50 mmol/L glucose medium supplemented with serum containing JMT (JMT group). SC apoptosis was detected using a terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling kit. The expression of Bcl-2 and the caspase-3 p20 subunit in SCs were detected by realtime fluorogenic quantitative polymerase chain reaction and confocal laser scanning microscopy, respectively.

resultsNo apoptosis was detected in SCs that were cultured in the control group. The percentage of apoptosis of SCs cultured in the HG group was much higher than that in the control group. The apoptosis of SCs in the JMT group was lower than that in the HG group. Fluorescence intensity of Bcl-2 and the expression of Bcl-2 mRNA in SCs that were cultured in the HG group were much lower than those in the control group and much higher than those in the JMT group (P<0.01). The fluorescence intensity of caspase-3 p20 and the expression of caspase-3 p20 mRNA in SCs that were cultured in the HG group were much higher than those in the control group (P<0.01), and they were remarkably lower in the JMT group (P<0.01).

conclusionsJMT effectively prevents SC apoptosis that is induced by high glucose. This effect may be because of increased expression of Bcl-2 mRNA and protein and decreased expression of caspase-3 p20 mRNA and protein.
