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

The aim of this study was to investigate the photoprotective and immunoregulatory capacities of ginsenoside Rg1 in skin irradiated by chronic ultraviolet B (UVB) and to verify the potential mechanisms of action. BALB/c mice were pretreated with a topical application of ginsenoside Rg1 and irradiated with different doses of UVB daily for 30 consecutive days. Following chronic UVB irradiation, there were significant pathological changes in the skin of the BALB/c mice, including hyperkeratosis, acanthosis, sponge-like edematization and sunburn occurring in the epidermis, while edema, telangiectasis and inflammatory cell infiltration were observed in the papillary layer of the dermis. Treatment with ginsenoside Rg1 was able to reduce such changes induced by UVB irradiation. The number of p53 protein-positive stained cells following UVB irradiation was also observed by immunohistochemical analysis. Ginsenoside Rg1 downregulated the p53 protein expression induced by UVB irradiation, leading to reductions of 69.50, 23.53 and 12.93% at doses of 30, 60 and 120 mJ/cm
