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

purposeYanghe Pingchuan granules (YPG), a hospital preparation developed by The First Affiliated Hospital, Anhui University of Chinese Medicine, has been used for the clinical treatment of bronchial asthma (BA) for several decades. This study aimed to explore the mechanism of action of YPG in the treatment of BA. MATERIALS AND

methodsMale Sprague Dawley rats (n=60) were randomly divided into six groups (n=10 per group): control, a BA model, positive drug control (Guilong Kechuanning capsules; a proven effective treatment for BA), and model rats treated with a high, medium, or low dose of YPG. H&E staining was used to detect pathological changes in the bronchial tubes. The mRNA expression levels of

resultsH&E staining demonstrated that BA can be ameliorated using YPG. Real-time PCR, Western blotting, and ELISA indicated that use of YPG decreased expression of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway and PCNA, and can also ameliorate the condition kidney Yang deficiency, which is associated with BA in Chinese traditional medicine.

conclusionYPG can attenuate BA therapeutically in a dose-dependent manner. The mechanism underlying its therapeutic effect comprises influences on three features that contribute to BA: the PI3K signaling pathway, cell proliferation, and "kidney-Yang deficiency".
