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

Severe ionizing radiation (IR) causes the acute lethal damage of hematopoietic system and gastrointestinal tract. By establishing a radiation injury model, we found that Diprovocim, a TLR2 agonist, protected mice against the lethal damage of hematopoietic system and gastrointestinal tract. Diprovocim inhibited the IR-induced damage, promoted erythrocyte differentiation and elevated the proportion of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in irradiated mice, and promoted the proliferation and differentiation of intestinal stem cells (ISCs). In addition, the RNA seq results suggested that Diprovocim significantly upregulated the TLR2 signaling pathway, and Diprovocim had no radioprotective effect on TLR2 KO mice, suggesting that Diprovocim activated TLR2 signaling pathway to exert its radioprotective function. The RNA sequencing results also suggested that Diprovocim significantly up-regulated the expression of SOX9. Diprovocim had no radioprotective effect after SOX9 knockdown. In conclusion, we demonstrated that Diprovocim protected the radiation-induced damage and upregulated targeting TLR2-SOX9 axis and that Diprovocim might be a potential high-efficiency selective agent.
