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

Long-term exposure to ultraviolet irradiation to skin leads to deleterious intracellular effects, including reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and inflammatory responses, causing accelerated skin aging. Previous studies have demonstrated that increased expression and activation of protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) and Akt is observed in keratinocyte proliferation, suggesting their potential regulatory role in skin photoaging. However, the specific underlying molecular mechanism of PAR2 and the Akt/NF-κB/FoxO6-mediated signaling pathway is not clearly defined. In this study, we first used the UVB-irradiated photoaged skin of hairless mice and observed an increase in PAR2 and Gαq expression and PI3-kinase/Akt, NF-κB, and suppressed FoxO6. Consequently, increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines and decreased levels of antioxidant MnSOD was observed. Next, to investigate PAR2-specific roles in inflammation and oxidative stress, we used photoaged hairless mice topically applied with PAR2 antagonist GB83 and photoaged PAR2 knockout mice. PAR2 inhibition and deletion significantly suppressed inflammatory and oxidative stress levels, which were associated with decreased IL-6 and IL-1β levels and increased MnSOD levels, respectively. Furthermore, NF-κB phosphorylation and decreased FoxO6 was reduced by PAR2 inhibition and deletion in vivo. To confirm the in vivo results, we conducted PAR2 knockdown and overexpression in UVB-irradiated HaCaT cells. In PAR2 knockdown cells by si-PAR2 treatment, it suppressed Akt/NF-κB and increased FoxO6, whereas PAR2 overexpression reversed these effects and subsequently modulated proinflammatory target genes. Collectively, our data define that PAR2 induces oxidative stress and inflammation through Akt-mediated phosphorylation of NF-κB (Ser536) and FoxO6 (Ser184), which could be a critical upstream regulatory mechanism in ROS-mediated inflammatory response.
