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

Introduction Cholestatic liver diseases are highly prevalent and lack effective treatment, ultimately progressing to end-stage liver diseases. Our recent study indicates that the interplay between c-MYC and lncRNA H19 exacerbates the ductular reaction during cholestasis.

objectiveThis study aims to unveil the underlying mechanisms of the protective effects of senkyunolide A (SenA) on cholangiocyte overproliferation in cholestatic liver diseases.

methodsThrough comprehensive characterization using RNA sequencing, CHIP analysis, protein truncation, amino acid mutation or deletion, and the development of SenA derivatives, we explored the effects and mechanisms of SenA in vivo in bile duct ligation mice and in vitro in primary cholangiocytes.

resultsWe demonstrated that SenA effectively mitigates cholangiocyte hyperproliferation by epigenetically suppressing c-MYC expression and disrupting the downstream H19, Let-7a and Lin28a. Mechanically, we identified a potential interaction between the carbonyl group in SenA and Arg483 in TRAF6, disrupting the TRAF6-HDAC3 complex. This dissociation facilitates the binding of HDAC3 to the MYC promoter region, resulting in enhanced histone deacetylation and transcriptional suppression.

conclusionWe highlight the therapeutic potential of SenA in cholestatic liver diseases by elucidating its role in epigenetic regulation.
