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

Introduction: Hair loss is one of the common clinical conditions in modern society. Although it is not a serious disease that threatens human life, it brings great mental stress and psychological burden to patients. This study investigated the role of dendrobium officinale polysaccharide (DOP) in hair follicle regeneration and hair growth and its related mechanisms. Methods: After in vitro culture of mouse antennal hair follicles and mouse dermal papilla cells (DPCs), and mouse vascular endothelial cells (MVECs), the effects of DOP upon hair follicles and cells were evaluated using multiple methods. DOP effects were evaluated by measuring tentacle growth, HE staining, immunofluorescence, Western blot, CCK-8, ALP staining, tube formation, scratch test, and Transwell. LDH levels, WNT signaling proteins, and therapeutic mechanisms were also analyzed. Results: DOP promoted tentacle hair follicle and DPCs growth in mice and the angiogenic, migratory and invasive capacities of MVECs. Meanwhile, DOP was also capable of enhancing angiogenesis and proliferation-related protein expression. Mechanistically, DOP activated the WNT signaling and promoted the expression level of β-catenin, a pivotal protein of the pathway, and the pathway target proteins Cyclin D1, C-Myc, and LDH activity. The promotional effects of DOP on the biological functions of DPCs and MVECs could be effectively reversed by the WNT signaling pathway inhibitor IWR-1. Conclusion: DOP advances hair follicle and hair growth via the activation of the WNT signaling. This finding provides a mechanistic reference and theoretical basis for the clinical use of DOP in treating hair loss.
