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

introductionNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) acts as the primary contributor to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and potentially hepatocellular carcinoma. The flowers of Chrysanthemum indicum, a traditional edible medicinal herb, have been widely used in China for more than 2000 years. However, the function of C. indicum in managing NAFLD has seldom been investigated.

objectivesTo reveal the novel active components and underlying mechanisms of C. indicum in treating NAFLD.

methodsAn MS/MS-based molecular networking-guided strategy was used for the chemical investigation. The structure identification of the new compounds involved high resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HRESIMS), 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra, electronic circular dichroism (ECD), and X-ray crystallographic analysis. The biological evaluation was performed using Nile Red staining, flow cytometry, commercial kits, western blotting, co-immunoprecipitation, isothermal titration calorimetry, cellular thermal shift assay, drug affinity responsive target stability assay, molecular docking, and confocal immunofluorescence.

resultsA total of 27 new dimeric sesquiterpenoids, chryindicolides A-Z (1-26) and chrysanthemolide C (27), together with seven known compounds, were isolated from the flowers of C. indicum under the guide of MS/MS-based molecular networking. Among them, compounds 1-7 were rare chlorine-containing guaianolide dimers. Chryindicolide O (15) directly bound and activated the deacetylase Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) to reduce de novo lipogenesis, enhance fatty acid β-oxidation, and inhibit ferroptosis in palmitic acid and oleic acid (P/O)-induced AML12 hepatocytes. In addition, chryindicolide O significantly ameliorated liver steatosis in high-fat diet-fed zebrafish.

conclusionNovel guaianolide dimers from C. indicum alleviated hepatic steatosis through mitigating SIRT1-mediated lipid accumulation and ferroptosis, suggesting that they could be further developed as candidates against NAFLD.
