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

Leonurus japonicus Houtt, a Chinese traditional herbal medicine, has been widely used to cure gynecological diseases, such as incomplete abortion and menoxenia. Leonurine, a major active alkaloid compound only be found in Leonurus japonicus Houtt, has been successfully extracted and purified. Recent evidence has shown that leonurine can regulate a variety of pathologic processes including oxidative stress, inflammation, fibrosis, apoptosis, and multiple metabolic disorders. Here, we have reviewed the pharmacological actions and biological functions of leonurine, with a focus on the role of leonurine in the amelioration of various pathological processes. Insights into the related signaling pathways and molecular mechanisms have strengthened our understanding on the function of leonurine in the alleviation of multiple pathological states. Our summary of the existing researches should help direct future research into the basic science and clinical applications in related diseases.
