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

backgroundsAlcoholic liver disease (ALD), a consequence of excessive alcohol consumption, is characterized by high incidence and mortality rates. Presently, there are no effective pharmacological interventions available for the treatment of ALD. Baicalin (BA), a natural flavonoid derived from the root of Scutellaria baicalensis, has exhibited notable hepatoprotective effects. Nevertheless, the mechanisms through which BA influences the interaction between suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) and macrophages during hepatic immune development remain insufficiently understood. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis study seeks to examine the regulatory effects of BA on ALD and to elucidate the relationship between SOCS1 and macrophage differentiation. Our experimental methodology involves the novel application of zebrafish as an in vivo model for ALD. To further investigate the underlying mechanisms, we employed gene knockout and overexpression techniques.

resultsThe study demonstrates that BA substantially alleviates ALD in both in vivo and in vitro settings by upregulating SOCS1 expression in macrophages. Furthermore, we elucidated the association between SOCS1 and macrophage reprogramming. Specifically, SOCS1 knockdown led to the downregulation of CD86, CD80, and iNOS expression, whereas SOCS1 overexpression enhanced the expression of CD206, CD163, IL-4, and IL-10.

conclusionIn conclusion, our findings suggest that BA attenuates ALD via the modulation of SOCS1-mediated macrophage reprogramming.
