Targeting Pulmonary Hypertension: Elucidating Sophocarpine's Protective Role via Preclinical Models.

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
Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a serious disease that manifests itself as elevated pressure within the pulmonary arteries. The onset of PH is usually insidious, and if left untreated, it may lead to heart failure and even life-threatening conditions. Recent studies have shown that sophocarpine (SOP) has significant effects on antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antifibrotic, and hemodynamic improvement, and it may become an emerging drug for the treatment of PH. However, the specific mechanism of action of SOP still requires further experimental validation. Methods: We established in vivo and in vitro models of PH and treated them with varying concentrations of SOP. To visualize the changes in rats and cells, we used scratch assay, flow cytometry, Western blotting, pulmonary artery pressure measurement, biochemical analysis, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), ultrasound scanning, hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, and Masson's trichrome staining. Results: Our results showed that SOP significantly alleviated the inflammatory response and apoptosis induced by PH, reduced pulmonary artery pressure, and restored the balance of pulmonary artery remodeling. These effects were found to be effective in alleviating PH. Conclusion: Our study provides clear evidence that SOP has a significant protective effect in the PH model and is expected to be a promising therapeutic agent for PH.
