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

Skin photodamage is closely related to mitochondrial dysfunction, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress can induce excessive mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, triggering inflammation, and inducing cell apoptosis. Polysaccharides from Inonotus obliquus (IOP) have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory activities. Previous research has shown that IOP could significantly inhibit ultraviolet radiation B (UVB) induced ROS generation and apoptosis in skin cells, increase mitochondrial membrane potential and reduce the expression of ERS marker. However, the molecular mechanism has not yet been elucidated. This study used network pharmacology to analyze potential regulatory targets and explored the mechanism of IOP in alleviating UVB-induced photodamage by systematic experiments. Through network pharmacology analysis of targets related to ER, mitochondria and photodamage, it was found that core targets were concentrated in autophagy, inflammation, calcium ion (Ca
