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

aimTo investigate the effects and mechanisms of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) from deer antler on improving depression-like behaviors in chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) mice.

methodsThe CUMS method was used to establish a mouse depression model. The relationship between SAM and HIF-1α was analyzed by small molecule-protein docking and molecular dynamics simulation.

resultsNetwork pharmacology analysis showed that the effect of SAM is related to HIF-1α. When shRNA-HIF-1α was used to silence the expression of HIF-1α, the effect of SAM was inhibited. The improvement of depression-like behaviors in mice was not significant, and inflammatory factors were no longer further downregulated.

conclusionSAM can improve depression-like behaviors in CUMS mice and enhance their mobility. SAM inhibits neuroinflammation and glycolysis, and also suppresses the activation of microglia.
