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

Objective: To investigate the mechanism by which Biejiajian Pill (BJJP) regulates ferroptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells through the p62/Keap1/NRF2 pathway and to provide an experimental basis for its application in the prevention and treatment of HCC. Methods: Huh7 HCC cells were divided into a normal control group, a BJJP drug serum group, an erastin (a ferroptosis inducer) group, a BJJP drug serum + erastin group, and BJJP drug serum + ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) (a ferroptosis inhibitor) group. BJJP drug serum was prepared with animals treated with BJJP and CCK-8 assay was performed to determine the optimal concentration and duration of BJJP intervention. The levels of intracellular iron (Fe), reduced glutathione (GSH), lipid peroxides (MDA), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were measured. Western blot was performed to determine the expression levels of FTH1, GPX4, xCT, SLC40A1, Keapl, p62, and NRF2. JC-1 staining was performed to measure mitochondrial membrane potential, and cell immunofluorescence was performed to determine the expression of p62 and Keap1. Results: According to the CCK-8 assay results, the cell inhibition rate was highest when BJJP was administered at a high dose of 2.2 g/kg ( Conclusion: BJJP regulates ferroptosis in Huh7 HCC cells by inhibiting the p62/Keap1/NRF2 pathway, demonstrating potentials as a therapeutic agent for HCC.
