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

backgroundActivated neutrophils can create structures known as neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs/ETs) consisting of nuclear components and granules. The ETOsis phenomenon leads to activating the platelets and coagulation factors. Accordingly, coagulation and fibrinolysis can be promoted. Resveratrol (RSV) is a botanical antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and anti-leukemia effects. The present study was conducted to assess the effect of RSV on the occurrence of ETOsis in the NB4 cell line.

methodsHuman acute promyelocytic leukemia cell line (NB4) were stimulated and treated by lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and RSV, respectively. Sytox green and a fluorescent microscope were used to assess the ETOsis in NB4 cells. Furthermore, the expression level of peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) gene and the occurrence of ETOsis in NB4 cells were evaluated by real-time PCR and flow cytometry, respectively. Moreover, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit was utilized to measure tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) cytokine.

resultsFollowing treatment with RSV, a significant decrease in PAD4 gene expression and TNF-α cytokine concentration in the supernatant of NB4 cell line culture medium was observed. Besides, the amount of ETOsis in the NB4 cells treated with LPS and RSV decreased.

conclusionThe findings demonstrated that RSV can inhibit the process of ETOsis in NB4 cells. By inhibiting the process of ETOsis, RSV may be able to reduce the bleeding and, consequently, the failure after treatment in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) patients.
