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

backgroundFlap transplantation is a widely used for wound reconstruction but continues to carry a substantial risk of postoperative necrosis. We evaluated the therapeutic effect of phillyrin for improving flap survival and elucidated its underlying pharmacological mechanisms.

methodsIn vivo, a McFarlane flap model was established on the dorsal skin of rats. Animals were assigned to four groups: control, low-dose (17.5 mg/kg/day, intraperitoneal [i.p.]), medium-dose (35 mg/kg/day, i.p.), and high-dose (70 mg/kg/day, i.p.) phillyrin. At 7 days postoperatively, we evaluated flap survival, blood perfusion, oxidative stress, cytokine expression, toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor κB/NOD-like receptor protein 3 (TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3) axis activity, and pyroptosis. In vitro, human umbilical vein endothelial cells were treated with hypoxia/reoxygenation or lipopolysaccharide/nigericin models, to investigate the protective effects of phillyrin against inflammation-related pyroptotic injury.

resultsPhillyrin improved flap survival, significantly enhanced local blood perfusion, reduced neutrophil infiltration, and mitigated oxidative stress. Its mechanism of action is closely associated with the inhibition of the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 axis: phillyrin significantly downregulated pathway activity, reduced cytokines secretion, and decreased the expression of pyroptosis-related effector proteins. In vitro, phillyrin demonstrated anti-inflammatory and anti-pyroptotic cytoprotective effects in H/R and inflammatory injury models by modulating the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 axis.

conclusionPhillyrin improves flap survival by inhibiting the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway, suppressing excessive inflammation and alleviating ischemia-reperfusion injury.
