Ginsenoside Rb1 affects mitochondrial Ca
Article in Molecular medicine (Cambridge, Mass.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
backgroundRotator cuff tears (RCTs) are among the most common musculoskeletal disorders that affect quality of life. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of ginsenoside Rb1 in RCTs and the mechanisms involved.
methodsFirst, a fibrotic model of FAPs was induced, and FAPs were cultured in media supplemented with different concentrations of ginsenoside Rb1. Next, a rat model of RCTs was constructed and treated with ginsenoside Rb1. Molecular docking was subsequently utilized to detect the binding of ginsenoside Rb1 and SFRP1. Finally, SFRP1 was knocked down and overexpressed in vivo and in vitro to investigate the mechanism of ginsenoside Rb1 and SFRP1 in RCTs.
resultsCompared with the Normal group, FAP viability was decreased, but Collagen II, FN and α-SMA levels were increased in the Control group. After treatment with different concentrations of ginsenoside Rb1, FAP viability increased, but Collagen II, FN and α-SMA levels decreased. Among them, 60 µM ginsenoside Rb1 had the best effect. In vivo experiments revealed that ginsenoside Rb1 improved RCTs in rats. Molecular docking revealed the binding of ginsenoside Rb1 to SFRP1. Additionally, SFRP1 levels were lower in the Control group than in the Normal group. After treatment with ginsenoside Rb1, SFRP1 levels increased. In vivo, overexpressing SFRP1 along with ginsenoside Rb1 treatment further alleviated tendon tissue fibroblast infiltration and fat accumulation and further reduced the expression of Collagen II, FN, and α-SMA. In vitro, overexpressing SFRP1 along with ginsenoside Rb1 treatment further decreased the expression of CaMKII, PLC, PKC, Wnt, and β-catenin, further decreased the Ca
conclusionsGinsenoside Rb1 inhibited the activation of the Wnt signaling pathway by promoting SFRP1 expression, thereby inhibiting mitochondrial function and Ca
