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

Andrographolide (AP) has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory activities. In this study, the impact of AP in sepsis-induced acute liver injury (ALI) and the molecules involved were dissected. FKBP1A was predicted to be the sole target protein of AP that was also differentially expressed in the GSE166868 dataset. AP induced the protein expression of FKBP1A and suppressed that of NOTCH1 in a dose-dependent manner. AP ameliorated ALI in mice induced by D-galactosamine and LPS and inhibited LPS-induced liver parenchymal cell injury in vitro. By contrast, the protective effect of AP was significantly lost after the knockdown of FKBP1A. As a positive control, the therapeutic effect of dexamethasone on ALI may be related to NOTCH1, which was not related to FKBP1A. NOTCH1 promoted AK2 transcription in liver parenchymal cells, and FKBP1A inhibited endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress by impairing NOTCH1/AK2 signaling. Restoration of NOTCH1 significantly reversed the hepatoprotective effect of AP in ALI mice and LPS-induced liver parenchymal cell injury by activating the ER stress pathway. Therefore, AP-promoted FKBP1A expression inhibits ALI progression by blocking the NOTCH1/AK2-mediated ER pathway.
