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

backgroundPostoperative ileus (POI) represents a disorder of gastrointestinal function following surgical procedures, characterized by a multifaceted etiology. There is an urgent clinical need to search for treatment regimens that improve the therapeutic effect for POI. Current research indicates that Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) demonstrates significant efficacy in treating POI. Our research was conducted to delve into the precise therapeutic action of Yiqi Daozhi Formula (YQDZF) in the treatment of POI.

methodsIn our study, H&E staining and carmine detection were employed to assess the gastrointestinal functionality in the POI mouse model. ELISA was used to detect levels of MPO, lactic acid, inflammatory factors, and glycolysis. Flow cytometry and qRT-PCR were employed to examine the levels and expression of macrophage phenotypic markers. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of glycolysis- and AKT/NF-kB/HIF-1α signaling pathway-related proteins. Cycloheximide method and MG-132 method were used to detect the stability of AKT protein.

resultsAfter making the comparative analysis with the Control group, the POI group mice exhibited pronounced gastrointestinal dysfunction, which was mitigated by treatment with YQDZF. In vivo experiments confirmed that YQDZF treatment markedly decreased M1 macrophage polarization and inhibited the glycolytic pathway. Cellular experiments demonstrated that this therapeutic approach was related to the AKT/NF-kB/HIF-1α signaling pathway in macrophages.

conclusionsYQDZF inhibits the AKT/NF-kB/HIF-1α pathway, thereby mediating the M1 polarization of macrophages and the glycolytic metabolism to effectively alleviate the progression of POI.
