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

backgroundThe complex etiology of Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury (IRI) induced by liver transplantation (LT) and the "one-target-focused" method limit the development of effective therapeutic interventions. We aimed to reveal the specific active ingredients and mechanisms involved in the Chinese herb Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (SBG) in alleviating IRI in LT.

methodsThe active ingredients and potential macromolecular targets of SBG were screened through related databases. The differentially expressed genes of LT were obtained from GSE151648. The protein-protein interaction network was constructed by the STRING database, and Cytoscape 3.7.1 was used to construct a compound-target-disease network. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses were performed on the DAVID database. Finally, the main active components of SBG and the corresponding mechanisms were verified in a donation after circulatory death (DCD) rat LT model.

resultsThirty-two active ingredients of SBG and their targets were identified, and a total of 38 intersection targets were obtained. GO function and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses demonstrated that the plasma membrane and its components play an important role. Molecular docking showed baicalein, the core component of SBG, had a strong binding ability to all hub targets. Next, in DCD rats, baicalein was proven to improve liver function, alleviate pathological injury and apoptosis, and increase the survival rate. Baicalein also significantly affected the expression of 7 hub genes. Furthermore, baicalein could inhibit ferroptosis by inhibiting phospholipid peroxidation.

conclusionBaicalein, the main component of SBG, could alleviate IRI, affect the expression of hub genes, and inhibit ferroptosis in LT.
