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

aimThis study investigated the mechanisms by which 6-gingerol affected miRNAs in mesenchymal stem cell exosomes and the regulation on NF-κB signaling pathways in synovial cells and GES-1 via miR-30c-2-3p. In addition, the study evaluated potential protective effects of 6-gingerol on synovial tissue and gastric mucosa based on a rat model.

methodsThe role of 6-gingerol was evaluated using assays including Western Blotting, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), qPCR, immunofluorescence, dual luciferase reporter gene assay, ELISA, CCK-8 cell viability assay, and protein expression analysis. Meanwhile, the effects of 6-gingerol on synovial tissue and gastric mucosa were evaluated using an animal model.

results6-Gingerol exhibited anti-inflammatory effects by upregulating miR-30c-2-3p, targeting the TAB1 gene, and suppressing NF-κB signaling pathway activation. In both synovial cells and GES-1, 6-gingerol significantly reduced the concentration of inflammatory factors and increased cell viability. In addition, 6-gingerol regulated key molecules in the NF-κB signaling pathway through miR-30c-2-3p, thereby reducing inflammatory response. Based on the rat model, 6-gingerol showed protective effects on synovial tissue and gastric mucosa, while miR-30c-2-3p antagomir might attenuate the therapeutic effects.

conclusion6-Gingerol effectively suppressed the NF-κB signaling pathway activation via upregulating miR-30c-2-3p expression, which targeted TAB1. This led to significant anti-inflammatory and protective effects in synovial cells and GES-1.
