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

To combat influenza A virus (IAV) infection, it is vital to develop effective therapeutic strategies, including immunomodulators. In this study, we examined the antiviral effects of Hovenia dulcis Thunb. honey (HDH) against IAV using RAW 264.7 cells. HDH treatment significantly reduced IAV infection and viral protein expression. Moreover, it enhanced the production of interferon (IFN)-β, activated the innate immune response through the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway, and upregulated IFN signaling through signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)1/2 phosphorylation and interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) expression. In addition, HDH decreased IAV-induced intracellular and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by upregulating the expression of antioxidant proteins, such as Sirt3 and SOD2. The results suggest that HDH is a potential therapeutic agent inhibiting viral replication and boosting host antiviral immunity.
