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

backgroundAmarogentin (AMA) is a secoiridoid glycoside extracted from Swertia and Gentiana roots and exhibits many biological effects such as antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor activities. Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease caused by disorders in the regulation of multiple inflammatory cytokines. No effective cure has been found for AD now.

methodsWe constructed the HaCat and splenocyte model and tested the inhibitory effect of AMA on IL-4, IL-6, and IL-13 secretions using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The AD mouse model was constructed and treated with AMA, the severity of skin lesions was observed, epidermal tissue was collected, and epidermal thickness and mast cell infiltration were observed using hematoxylin and eosin and toluidine blue staining, respectively. The expression of kallikrein-related peptidase 7 (KLK7) and filaggrin (FLG) was detected using immunostaining and Western blot analysis. The mRNA expression of KLK7 and FLG was detected using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Blood immunoglobulin E (IgE) secretion was detected.

resultsAMA inhibited IL-6 secreted by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-induced HaCaT cells and reduced IL-4 and IL-13 secreted by phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-induced primary cells in the mice spleen. It was found that the treatment of AMA with 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene-induced AD-like mice could promote the recovery of dermatitis, reduce the score of dermatitis severity and the scratching frequency, treat the skin lesions, reduce the epidermal thickness, decrease the infiltration of mast cells, reduce the IgE level in serum, decrease the expression levels of AD-related cytokines, increase protein and mRNA expression of FLG, and reduce the protein and mRNA expression of KLK7 in the skin tissues of AD-like mice.

conclusionIn conclusion, AMA inhibits inflammatory response at the cellular level, and AMA reduces the validation response of specific dermatitis mice, relieves pruritus, and repairs the damaged skin barrier.
