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 traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) Yuanshi Shengmai Chenggu Tablet is used for treating the common orthopedic disease, hormone‑induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH) in China. However, its underlying mechanism and the changes induced in the treatment of ANFH remain to be fully elucidated. In the present study, through the use of isobaric Tag for Relative and Absolute Quantitation and multiple reaction monitoring quantifications, corticosteroid‑induced femoral head necrosis and the effects of treatment with Yuanshi Shengmai Chenggu Tablet were examined. The aim was to identify serum proteins, which may be potential serum markers for the early clinical diagnosis of ANFH, and maybe used to develop more rapid and convenient detection strategies. A total of five proteins were identified, comprising Ig mu chain C region, keratin, type I cytoskeletal 9, properdin, apolipoprotein A‑IV, and IQ and AAA domain‑containing protein 1. The expression levels of all five proteins were lower in ANFH and were higher following TCM treatment. These findings were confirmed using ELISA and western blot analysis.
