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

Schisandrin B (Sch B) derived from Schisandra chinensis, is known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. The study aimed to explore Sch B's protective roles and underlying mechanisms in angiotensin II (Ang II) - induced ferroptosis, atrial fibrosis, and AF using both in vivo and in vitro models. AF mice model generated induced by Ang II and established an in vitro model using the HL-1 cell line induced by Ang II. We assessed atrial fibrosis through histological analysis and oxidative stress analysis. We employed RT-qPCR and Western blot techniques to evaluate mRNA and protein expression. Sch B significantly attenuated Ang II-induced AF development, atrial apoptosis, and myocardial injury-related molecules, including CK-MB and LDH. Relative DHE intensity, MDA, NOX2, and NOX4 increased significantly, and SOD and CAT levels decreased markedly in Ang II-induced mice. Sch B treatment could inhibit atrial ROS production and oxidative stress in Ang II-infused mice. In addition, Sch B showed cardioprotective effects in Ang II-infused HL-1 cells. Sch B significantly reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6, restored by EX527 (SIRT1 inhibitor). Sch B inhibited intracellular ROS generation and oxidative stress in HL-1 cells, which were restored by Ex-527. Furthermore, Sch B decreased the increase in Fe2 + concentration caused by Ang II infusion, which was recovered by Ex-527. Sch B markedly increased the expression of SIRT1, SLC7A11, GPX4 and FTH1 while reducing the expression patterns by Ex-527 treatment. Our experimental data suggest that Sch B protects against Ang II-induced ferroptosis, atrial fibrosis, and AF by activating SIRT1 in vivo and in vitro.
