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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesRadix Bupleuri (RB, Chaihu in Chinese) has been used as a traditional medicine for more than 2000 years in China, Japan, Korea, and other Asian countries. Saikosaponin a (SSa), the most abundant saikosaponin in RB, exhibits various pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antiviral, immunoregulatory, neuromodulatory, and hepatoprotective activities. A comprehensive study of the pharmacokinetic characteristics of SSa is needed to gain a detailed understanding of its pharmacodynamic mechanism.

methodsHere, we determined the effects of rat strain (Sprague Dawley and Wistar), oral dose, and cotreatment with saikosaponin b

resultsThe results showed that the absorption of SSa in Wistar rats was statistically superior to its absorption in Sprague Dawley rats based on pharmacokinetic parameters such as the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC

conclusionsThe pharmacokinetic data for SSa obtained in this study will play an important role in attempts to better understand the fate of SSa in rats and to explore how these saikosaponins are likely to exert their pharmacological effects in vivo. In addition, further research is needed to elucidate the interactions of saikosaponins with metabolic enzymes and transporters in order to account for the phenomena observed in this study.
