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

Hypericum monogynum L. is a plant used in traditional Chinese medicine for treating inflammatory disorders and infectious diseases. Seven new polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs) and seven known PPAPs were isolated from the flowers of H. monogynum. Structurally, compound 1 features the first rearranged PPAP with a fascinating spirocyclic 5/6/6 ring system, and compound 2 is the first example of a highly modified PPAP featuring a rare 6/5/5/5-tetracyclic system. Compound 7 is the first highly degraded PPAP. Their structures were elucidated through comprehensive analysis of HRESIMS, NMR spectroscopy, and electronic circular dichroism calculations. Additionally, five PPAPs exhibited potential multidrug resistance (MDR) reversal activity in MCF-7/ADR cells with reversal fold (RF) values ranging from 9 to 56. Notably, compound 3, the strongest MDR modulator, showed a reversal effect (RF = 56) superior to the positive control verapamil (RF = 53) at an equivalent concentration. Furthermore, primary mechanistic investigation indicated that compound 10 inhibits P-gp transport function without affecting its expression. The potential recognition mechanism between compound 10 and P-gp was predicted by molecular docking.
