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

Ulcerative colitis (UC) has become a prevalent global health concern. This study scrutinized the influence of Astragaloside IV (ASI) on DSS-induced UC, with particular emphasis on the role of WDR5 in mediating ENO1 expression. The therapeutic efficacy of ASI was assessed in a mouse model of UC by evaluating disease activity index, pathology, colon length, and inflammatory factor contents. Through bioinformatics analysis, the UC-related differentially expressed genes were predicted using the GSE38713 database and intersected with the lists of ASI targets and transcription factors, and the protein-protein network was constructed to screen the key target transcription factors. ASI inhibited the shortening of colon length, reduced histological damage scores, ameliorated pathology, and the overproduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines. After ASI treatment, DSS-stimulated human NCM460 cells showed increased cell viability, decreased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and cleaved-Caspase-3, and enhanced ZO-1 and claudin-3 expression. WDR5 was a target of ASI in UC, and overexpression of WDR5 compromised the effects of ASI. WDR5 promoted the H3K4me3 modification of the ENO1 promoter and thereby regulated ENO1 transcriptional activation. Silencing of ENO1, again, repressed NCM460 cell apoptosis and alleviated UC-like symptoms in mice. In conclusion, ASI mitigated UC by inhibiting WDR5 and reducing H3K4me3-mediated ENO1 activation.
