Combined therapy with ligustrazine and paeonol mitigates hepatic fibrosis through destroying mitochondrial integrity of stellate cell.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This study investigates the inhibitory effect and potential mechanism of ligustrazine combined with paeonol on hepatic fibrosis, as to provide a new therapeutic strategy for clinical hepatic fibrosis. The degree of liver injury collagen deposition and inflammation was assessed by hematoxylin and eosin staining, Masson, Sirius red staining and biochemically serum analysis. ATP and ROS levels in each group were detected by chemical fluorescence method. The apoptotic rate was measured by Tunel assay. Mito-Tacker fluorescence staining and mitochondrial DNA copy number were measured to observe the effect of ligustrazine or/and paeonol on mitochondrial function of hepatic stellate cell (HSC). The expression of relevant proteins and genes were evaluated by using immunofluorescence RT-PCR and western blot. Ligustrazine or/and paeonol significantly improve the pathological changes in liver tissue induced by CCl
