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

backgroundRepeated ultraviolet A (UVA) exposure-induced cellular photoaging models had been widely applicated to study skin photoaging. However, there is no standard protocol to prepare these models and cell passaging is inevitably needed when fibroblasts are cultured in conventional media for 5-7 days. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe adhesion ability of fibroblasts was tested after UVA irradiation. And both the cell culture medium and the UVA dose were optimized to help fibroblasts surviving a 7-day culture period without cell subculture and to establishing an improved cellular photoaging model. Finally, senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) detection with the fluorescent redox probe dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA), and Western blot analysis were performed to compare the improved model with the classical model.

resultsUVA exposure induced a significant decrease in the adhesion ability of fibroblasts, and thus implied that cell passaging might be a screen pressure against the photodamaged cells. And fibroblasts incubated in the medium supplemented with 1% fetal calf serum could survive the 7-day culture period without cell subculture and tolerate UVA irradiation up to a dose of 5.8 J/cm

conclusionAn improved cellular photoaging model was established, which seems to be more suitable than the classical model for elucidating the underlying molecular mechanisms of skin photoaging.
