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

Chronic ultraviolet (UV) exposure drives skin degeneration, causing photoaging and increased carcinogenesis risk. To address complex pathogenesis and limited treatments, we developed GS5, a novel anti-photoaging sericin. GS5 fuses natural sericin with Seq10, a Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1)-nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) protein-protein interaction (PPI) inhibitor identified through molecular docking/dynamics. Seq10 binds Keap1, activates Nrf2 transcription, and alleviates UVA-induced photoaging Nrf2-dependently. Given the application bottlenecks of peptide molecules, we efficiently expressed the GS5 recombinant protein using the silk gland reactor of the silkworm and optimized the enzymatic extraction process to obtain high-activity GS5 sericin.
