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

backgroundExposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation (UVB and UVA) is the most well-known extrinsic factor that induces skin aging. Fucoidan has been shown to possess antiphotoaging effects against UV irradiation and can be used as an ingredient in the pharmaceutical industry. The present study evaluated the photoprotective effect of fucoidan purified from

methodsTo evaluate the effect of UPF on UV-induced skin aging, HaCaT cells and HFF-1 cells were pretreated with or without UPF and then exposed to UVB and UVA radiation, respectively, and the levels of cellular senescence, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and mitochondrial dysfunction were evaluated. The mitochondrial ROS (mROS) was stained through MitoSOX, and the confocal microscope was used to capture the images. For further exploration of AMPK/SIRT-1/PGC-1α signaling, western blot was employed.

resultsThe results demonstrated that pretreatment of HaCaT and HFF-1 cells with UPF ameliorated cellular senescence, ROS and mROS overproduction, and mitochondrial dysfunction caused by UV exposure. This research also revealed that UPF could activate the AMPK/SIRT-1/PGC-1α signaling pathway to promote mitochondrial biogenesis.

conclusionsUPF can ameliorate UV-induced skin photoaging through inhibition of ROS production via the alleviation of mitochondrial dysfunction by regulating the SIRT-1/PGC-1α signaling pathway.
