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

Background: Continuous light exposure can accelerate immunosenescence-like state. The increase of TNF-α and IL-1β impairs clock gene functions and circadian rhythm disorder contributes to the path of biological aging. Methods: This study evaluated the effects of an aqueous extract of black ginseng (BG) on clock gene regulation in aging mice accompanied by circadian rhythm disorders to clarify its antiaging mechanism in the skin. D-gal-induced the mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells were treated with Ginsenoside Rg3. In vivo, aging senescence was induced by subcutaneous injection of D-gal combined with a light environment. The treatment groups were injected intraperitoneally with BG extract. Results: We found that Rg3, one of the active ingredients of the BG extract, increased the antioxidant capacity and decreased the expression of β-galactosidase and the mRNA levels of p16, p21, TNF-α and IL-1β. Drug-disease-target network pharmacological analysis revealed that the TNF signaling pathway is involved in the anti-skin aging effects of both BG and PT. We verified that BG or PT reversed the changes in the levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, clock and p-ERK1/2 in aged and circadian rhythm-disturbed mice. Conclusions: The present study demonstrated that the extracts of BG and PT played similar roles in an anti-skin aging. The possible mechanism involves the inhibition of oxidative stress (OS) and inflammation, which can lead to change clock genes and drive epidermal differentiation of epidermal stem cells (ESCs) through the activation of ERK to cause ESCs depletion and skin aging.
