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

backgroundShen-Ling-Bai-Zhu-San (SLBZS), a classic formula, shows excellent therapeutic effects on ulcerative colitis (UC). However, its pharmacological mechanism remains unclear. This study aims to explore the SLBZS’s mechanism on mitophagy and inflammation in UC.

methodThe UC rat model was constructed using 4.5% DSS. The in vivo effects of SLBZS on mitophagy and inflammation were investigated by combining the autophagy inhibitor 3-MA. Caco-2 cells were co-treated with DSS and LPS to mimic UC-like inflammatory. The main active components of SLBZS were analyzed by HPLC. Combined with 3-MA or knockdown of Nrf2, the mechanism by which the main active component of SLBZS Ginsenoside Rg1 affected oxidative stress and inflammation was investigated.

resultsSLBZS administration alleviated colonic injury in UC rats, reduced disease activity index, increased colonic length, promoted ZO-1, occludin, LGR5, and MUC-2 expressions, decreased ROS production, MDA level, and TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17, and p62 expressions, increased SOD and GSH-PX levels, mitochondrial membrane potential, and PINK1, TOM20, Nrf2, LC3, PINK1, and Parkin levels. 3-MA prevented this phenomenon, indicating that SLBZS inhibited UC inflammation by enhancing mitophagy. The molecular docking results showed that Ginsenoside Rg1 bound to Nrf2. The interaction between Nrf2 and PINK1 was confirmed. Mechanistically, Ginsenoside Rg1 relieved oxidative stress and inflammation in UC-like Caco-2 cell model by Nrf2/PINK1/Parkin pathway-mediated mitophagy.

conclusionOur results indicated that the Ginsenoside Rg1 promoted Nrf2/PINK1/Parkin pathway-mediated mitophagy, thereby alleviating UC, suggesting that Ginsenoside Rg1 could serve as a promising therapeutic agent for clinical UC, with the Nrf2/ PINK1/Parkin axis representing a potential strategy.
