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 pathogenesis and therapy of hypertrophic scars (HS) have not yet been established. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential effect of naringenin on HS and its underlying mechanisms. The mouse model of HS was prepared by a mechanical stretch device and then treated with naringenin at various concentrations. Histological studies were performed to evaluate scar hypertrophy by hematoxylin and eosin, as well as Masson's trichrome staining. The activation of HS fibroblasts was determined based on reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‑qPCR), western blotting and immunohistochemical staining. Following observing the retention of inflammation cells by immunohistochemistry, the cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‑α, interleukin (IL)‑1β, IL‑6 and transforming growth factor (TGF)‑β1, mRNA and protein levels were quantitated by RT‑qPCR, ELISA and western blotting methods. As a result, naringenin significantly inhibited the formation of HS in a concentration‑dependent manner. In addition, naringenin inhibited fibroblast activation and inflammatory cell recruitment. In addition, mRNA and protein expression levels of TNF‑α, IL‑1β, IL‑6 and TGF‑β1 were downregulated following naringenin treatment. The current study highlighted a new pharmacological activity of naringenin on HS. The mechanism of action of naringenin was associated with the inhibition of fibroblast activation and local inflammation. These results suggested that naringenin may serve as a novel agent for treatment of HS.
