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

backgroundQinghuayin (QHY) is a Chinese formula that is widely used in the treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG). This study was planned with the following objectives: (1) confirming the efficacy of QHY in a rat model of CAG and (2) performing a preliminary observation of the changes in several inflammatory signaling pathways potentially involved in the QHY mechanisms.

methodsA total of 33 rats were used in this study; they were divided into the control (n = 12) and model (n = 21) groups. QHY was administrated to both the groups. We assessed the pathological manifestations and the serum tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-

resultsThe pathological changes induced in the rats by the establishment of the CAG models were recovered by low and high doses of QHY. Their serum TNF-

conclusionsOur data confirm the efficacy of QHY as an adjuvant therapy, based on the theories in traditional Chinese medicine. The preliminary observations indicate that the downregulation of the enhanced inflammatory signaling pathways might be crucial QHY mechanisms that need further verification.
