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

The mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) remain largely unknown. CRSwNP has garnered considerable public health concern owing to its high incidence and unsatisfactory treatment outcomes. Herbal remedies are promising candidates for the treatment of CRSwNP. We examined the utility of andrographolide, a diterpenoid lactone extracted from the Chinese herb Andrographis paniculata, an anti-inflammatory agent for CRSwNP treatment by evaluating interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-17 production and monitoring T helper 17 (Th17) differentiation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from 20 Chinese CRSwNP patients and 11 control subjects. All CRSwNP patients exhibited clinical features of CRSwNP. Andrographolide significantly inhibited IL-6 and IL-17 production, suppressed p-Stat3 expression, and inhibited Th17 differentiation of PBMCs in vitro. These findings suggested that andrographolide has useful anti-inflammatory properties and could be used for the treatment of CRSwNP.
