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

Neuroinflammation is known as a typical feature associated with many neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and impairs the synaptic plasticity of the hippocampus. LW-AFC is an active fraction combination being extracted from Liuwei Dihuang decoction, a classic traditional Chinese medicine prescription. This study aimed to investigate the effects of LW-AFC on synaptic plasticity in mice with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment. The results showed that the administration of LPS caused fever and long-term potentiation (LTP) impairment in mice. The pretreatment with LW-AFC had an antipyretic effect on fever and improved the impaired LTP induced by LPS, alleviated the microglia and astrocytes activation in the hippocampus, regulated the abnormal T-lymphocyte subpopulation in the spleen and blood caused by LPS, and reduced the aberrant secretion of cytokines in the brain and plasma. The compounds paeoniflorin, morroniside, and loganic acid in LW-AFC regulated the TNF-
