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

objectiveTo investigate the site of action of sinapine thiocyanate (ST), following acupoint herbal patching (AHP).

methodsTwenty Wistar rats were randomized into five groups (groups A, B, C, D, and E), and all groups received the same AHP

resultsThe mean ± SD ST concentrations (ng/ml) at 2 h (group A), 4 h (group B), 6 h (group C), 10 h (group D), and 26 h (group E) after AHP administration were 250.01 ± 61.99, 61.01 ± 30.41, 40.12 ± 26.94, 78.66 ± 59.43, and 19.55 ± 18.95, respectively. No ST was detected in rats' plasma samples at the same time points.

conclusionsThe site of action of ST following AHP is in the skin.
