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

The Cutibacterium acnes (also called Propionibacterium acnes, P. acnes)-induced proliferation and migration of keratinocytes contribute to acne vulgaris (AV), which is a common inflammatory skin disease that causes physical and psychological impairments. Piceatannol (3, 5, 3', 4'-tetrahydroxy-trans-stilbene, PCT) is naturally present in many human diets and plays antioxidant and anti-inflammatory roles that inhibit cell proliferation and migration. We aimed to analyse the functions and underlying mechanisms of PCT in P. acnes-stimulated keratinocytes. First, PCT showed no toxicity against the normal human keratinocyte cell line HaCaT but inhibited P. acnes-induced HaCaT cell proliferation. Next, PCT promoted the nuclear translocation and target gene transcription of the antioxidant transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), thereafter decreasing intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. In addition, PCT inhibited the nuclear translocation of p65 [a subunit of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB)] and the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-8 (IL-8). Finally, a transfection assay showed that PCT inhibited P. acnes-induced HaCaT cell proliferation and migration by activating the antioxidant Nrf2 pathway and inhibiting the inflammatory NF-κB pathway. Our data suggested that PCT alleviated P. acnes-induced HaCaT cell proliferation and migration through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory roles, suggesting the potential of PCT to treat AV.
