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

background

methodsIn this study, primary Schwann cells exposed to serum deprivation were treated with ABPPk or nerve growth factor (NGF)

resultsWe found that ABPPk could effectively reduce Schwann cell apoptosis caused by serum deprivation, which was comparable to NGF's anti-apoptotic effects. ABPPk had the largest number of upregulated and downregulated differential expression genes at the earliest 0.5 h time, while NGF had fewer differential expression genes at this early stage. The significant difference at this time point between the two groups was also displayed in heatmaps. The molecular regulation of diseases and functions and canonical pathways revealed that ABPPk had more participation and advantages in the vasculature and immune system areas, especially angiogenesis regulation. Also, ABPPk demonstrated an earlier start in these molecular regulations than NGF. Furthermore, the analysis of transcription factors also illustrated that ABPPk not only had more key initial regulatory factors participating in vascular-related processes, but these also remained for a longer period. There was no significant difference in neural-related molecular regulation between the two groups.

conclusionsUsing high-throughput sequencing technology, our work unveiled the protective effects of ABPPk on Schwann cells after serum deprivation in a more comprehensive manner. These results further enrich the positive functions and molecular mechanisms of ABPPk and traditional Chinese medicine and benefit the discovery of novel therapeutic targets for peripheral nerve regeneration.
