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

Background: During the regression of hypertrophic scars, autophagy and apoptosis are the main ways of cell death. Recent investigations demonstrated effective inhibition of resveratrol on hypertrophic scar fibroblasts (HSFs). But its therapeutic value is limited by chemical instability and hydrophobicity, as well as the mechanism of its role in regulation of autophagy and apoptosis remains unknown. Aim of the study: We prepared a mesoporous silica nanoparticle laden with resveratrol (MSN@Res) which can effectively improve the solubility and stability of resveratrol. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether MSN@Res regulate autophagy and apoptosis of HSFs via inhibition of ROS/p38/HIF-1α/p53 signaling axis, as to reveal its pharmacological action and target. Materials and methods: Network pharmacology, molecular docking, and in vitro assays were carried out in this study. An in vitro model of fibroblasts cultivated in hypoxic and ischemic situations was established to simulate the scar in the proliferative phase. Results: MSN@Res surpresses HSFs by reducing physiological autophagy and inducing apoptosis, autosis may be another cell death involed in this process. According to the network pharmacological analysis and molecular docking, the mechanism by which MSN@Res alleviates hypertrophic scar may be closely related to the MAPK signaling pathway. MSN@Res significantly downregulate the expression of HIF-1α and p53 through the inhibition of ROS induced p38-MAPK phosphorylation with corresponding changes in the expression of autophagy and apoptosis related protein. Conclusion: MSN@Res is a novel drug delivery system with excellent chemical stability and drug release performance. It can inhibit protective autophagy of fibroblasts in hypoxic environment, and induce the apoptosis and autosis via the ROS -mediated p38-MAPK/HIF-1α/p53 signaling axis.
