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

objectiveTo investigate the efficacy and mechanism of Traditional Chinese Medicine Yishui Shengxue pills (, YSSX) in mouse models of immunosuppression induced by three chemotherapy drugs.

methodsWe determined an optimal intervention dose of YSSX to investigate efficacy. Changes in immune cell subpopulations were detected by flow cytometry, while immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, and other molecular biology methods, were used to verify pathway targets. We used PX-478, an inhibitor of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), to validate the mechanism of action.

resultsAnalysis showed that YSSX enhanced the immunity of mouse models of immunosuppression. At the cellular level, YSSX reduced the numbers of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and enhanced CD8+ T cell infiltration. At the molecular level, YSSX reduced the expression levels of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), general control nonderepressible 2 (GCN2), and eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) in mouse MDSCs, thereby reducing the transcription of HIF-1α, GCN2, and eIF2α mRNA. Collectively, these changes led to the increased secretion of interferon-γ and interleukin 12, concomitant with a reduction in tumor necrosis factor-α level.

conclusionsYSSX improved MDSC-mediated immunosuppression in a mouse model after chemotherapy by inhibiting the HIF-1α/iNOS-GCN2/eIF2α signaling axis.
