Botulinum Toxin Type A Alleviates Androgenetic Alopecia by Inhibiting Apoptosis of Dermal Papilla Cells via Targeting circ_0135062/miR-506-3p/Bax Axis.

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
Botulinum toxin type A (BTXA) has the potential to treat androgenetic alopecia (AGA); however, its impact on the apoptosis of dermal papillary cells (DPCs) is not yet fully understood. Noncoding RNAs play a crucial role in AGA. In this study, we investigated the potential mechanism by which BTXA alleviates apoptosis induced by dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in DPCs. We assessed the mRNA levels of circ_0135062, miR-506-3p, and Bax using qRT-PCR. Binding interactions were analyzed using RNA pulldown and dual-luciferase assays. Cell viability was determined using a cell counting kit-8 assay, and cell apoptosis was assessed using flow cytometry, TUNEL assays, and western blotting. Our findings revealed that BTXA inhibited the apoptosis of DPCs treated with DHT. Moreover, circ_0135062 overexpression counteracted the protective effect of BTXA on DHT-treated DPCs. MiR-506-3p was found to interact with Bax and inhibit apoptosis in DPCs by suppressing Bax expression in response to DHT-induced damage. Furthermore, circ_0135062 acted as a sponge for miR-506-3p, thereby inhibiting the targeting of Bax expression by miR-506-3p. In conclusion, BTXA exhibited an antiapoptotic effect on DHT-induced DPC injury via the circ_0135062/miR-506-3p/Bax axis.Level of Evidence II This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
