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

objectiveArtesunate, a semi-synthetic derivative of artemisinin, exerts various pharmacological activities. Nevertheless, the effects of Art on skin photoaging remain unclear. Herein, we investigated whether Art ameliorated ultraviolet-irradiated skin photoaging in HaCaT cells and mice.

methodsTo construct skin photoaging cellular models, HaCaT cells were irradiated by UV (UVB, 20mJ/cm

resultsArt treatment suppressed cell senescence, intracellular ROS production, p16

conclusionsThese findings suggested that Art treatment alleviated UVB irradiation-driven skin photoaging through enhancing β-catenin expression, which offered novel clues for pharmacological activity of Art.
