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: Yujiang Paidu Decoction (YJPD) has demonstrated clinical efficacy in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis. However, the effects and mechanisms of the YJPD on chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) remain unclear. Purpose: This study aimed to elucidate the potential mechanism of action of YJPD in the treatment of CRSwNP based on network pharmacology, transcriptomics and experiments. Methods: A CRSwNP mouse model was established using ovalbumin (OVA) and staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin B (SEB) for 12 weeks and the human nasal epithelial cell (HNEpC) model was induced with IL-13 in vitro. Behavioral tests, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), micro-CT and pathological change of nasal tissues were observed to investigate the therapeutic effects of YJPD. Network pharmacology and transcriptomics were launched to explore the pharmacological mechanisms of YJPD in CRSwNP treatment. Finally, an ELISA, immunofluorescence, RT-qPCR, Western blotting and Tunel were performed for validation. Results: Different doses of YJPD intervention effectively alleviated rubbing and sneezing symptoms in CRSwNP mice. Additionally, YJPD significantly reduced abnormal serological markers, structural damage of the nasal mucosa, inflammatory cell infiltration, goblet cell increases, and inhibited OVA-specific IgE levels and the secretion of Th2 cytokines such as IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13. Moreover, transcriptomics and network pharmacology analyses indicated that YJPD may exert anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects by inhibiting the MAPK/AP-1 signaling pathway. The experimental findings supported this conclusion, which was further corroborated by similar results observed in IL13-induced HNEpCs in vitro. Conclusion: YJPD could alleviate inflammatory status and epithelial apoptosis by inhibiting aberrant activation of MAPK/AP-1 signaling pathway. This finding provides a strong basis for using YJPD as a potential treatment in CRSwNP.
