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 present study investigated, the anti-apoptotic activity of Ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1) via inhibition of Bax translocation and the subsequent recovery of hematopoietic function. Mitochondrial apoptosis in bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMNCs) was observed in aplastic anemia (AA) patients. To establish a mouse model of AA, BALB/c mice were transplanted with lymph node cells from DBA/2 donor mice via vein injection after treatment with Co60 γ-radiation. After treatment with Rg1 for 14 days, the peripheral blood and Lin-Sca-1 + c-Kit + (LSK) cell counts of the treated group were increased compared with those of the untreated model mice. In in vivo and in vitro tests of LSKs, Rg1 was found to increase mitochondrial number and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax and to decrease damage to the mitochondrial inner and outer membranes, the mitochondrial Bax level and the protein levels of mitochondrial apoptosis-related proteins AIF and Cyt-C by decreasing the ROS level. Rg1 also improved the concentration-time curve of MAO and COX and levels of ATP, ADP and AMP in an in vitro test. In addition, high levels of Bax mitochondrial translocation could be corrected by Rg1 treatment. Levels of markers of mitochondrial apoptosis in the Rg1-treated group were significantly better than those in the AA model group, implying that Rg1 might improve hematopoietic stem cells and thereby restore hematopoietic function in AA by suppressing the mitochondrial apoptosis mediated by Bax translocation.
