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

objectiveTo investigate the effect of Shisiwei Jianzhong decoction (, SJD) on non-severe aplastic anemia (NSAA).

methodsBone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were isolated from bone marrow samples of 15 NSAA patients and 3 healthy controls. Cells were treated with gradient concentrations of SJD, and a portion was transfected with a vector overexpressing the nuclear factor of activated T cells, cytoplasmic 4 (NFATC4). Cell viability and apoptosis were detected by cell counting kit-8 and flow cytometry, respectively. After adipogenic differentiation induction, lipid droplet formation in BMSCs was examined by Oil Red O staining. The expression of NFATC4, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG), fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator (PGC-1α), and acetylated PGC-1α was measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction or Western blot.

resultsSJD significantly increased the viability and decreased the apoptosis of NSAA-derived BMSCs. It also dose-dependently inhibited lipid droplet formation and decreased the expression of PPARG and FABP4 in NSAA-derived BMSCs. NFATC4 expression was higher in patients with NSAA than in healthy controls, and SJD downregulated its expression. NFATC4 overexpression reversed the inhibitory effect of SJD on adipogenic differentiation. Additionally, SJD promoted the deacetylation of PGC-1α in NSAA-derived BMSCs, which was also partially eliminated by NFATC4 overexpression.

conclusionsSJD inhibits adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs through downregulating NFATC4, thereby contributing to the remission of NSAA.
