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

aimTo investigate the regulation of ginsenoside Rg1 on the PI3K/AKT pathway through the lncRNA-Malat1/miR-124-3p/ Laminin gamma1 (Lamc1) axis, activating astrocytes (As) to promote the repair of spinal cord injury (SCI).

methodsBioinformatics analysis was used to predict miRNA targeting Lamc1 and lncRNA targeting miR-124-3p, which were then validated through a dual-luciferase assay. Following transfection, the relationships between Malat1, miR-124-3p, and Lamc1 expression levels were assessed by qRT-PCR and Western blot (WB). Immunofluorescence staining and immunohistochemistry were utilized to measure Lamc1 expression, while changes in cavity area were observed through hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) scale and footprint analysis were used to evaluate functional recovery. WB was performed to assess the expression of PI3K/AKT pathway-related protein.

resultsRg1 was found to upregulate Malat1 expression, which in turn modulated the Malat1/miR-124-3p/Lamc1 axis. Furthermore, Rg1 activated the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, significantly reducing the SCI cavity area and improving hind limb motor function. However, knockout of Malat1 hindered these effects, and inhibition of miR-124-3p reversed the silencing effects of Malat1.

conclusionsRg1 can induce Malat1 expression to activate the Lamc1/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway by sponging with miR-124-3p, thereby regulating As activity to repair SCI.
