Effects of Saikosaponin D on Apoptosis, Autophagy, and Morphological Structure of Intestinal Cells of Cajal with Functional Dyspepsia.
Article in Combinatorial chemistry & high throughput screening, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveFunctional dyspepsia (FD) is one of the most common gastrointestinal diseases, with a global prevalence of 10%-30%. However, the specific pathogenesis of FD has not yet been determined. As such, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of saikosaponin D (SSD) administration on the apoptosis, autophagy, and morphological structure of the intestinal cells of Cajal (ICCs) in FD.
methodsA rat model of FD was constructed by stimulating the rat tail with a sponge clamp at one-third of the distal tail length. An autophagy model was constructed for ICCs using glutamate. The apoptosis rate in each group of cells was determined using flow cytometry. The expressions of ghrelin and substance P (SP) were detected using ELISA.
resultsThe body weight and food intake of male and female rats in the SSD group were consistently higher than those in the model group. The SSD group showed substantial improvement compared with the model group, with no inflammatory cell infiltration and normal gastric mucosal structures. After intervention with SSD, the ultrastructure of the ICCs considerably improved and was clear. Compared with the model group, the expressions of LC3 I/II, ghrelin, and SP proteins in the SSD group were significantly upregulated, and the apoptosis rate was significantly reduced.
conclusionThe administration of SSD improved ICC morphology and structure, inhibited excessive autophagy, and improved FD, a gastrointestinal motility disorder, by regulating ghrelin and SP levels.
