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

Evidences demonstrated that the effect on anti-proteinuria and renal protection of Chinese herbs combination with ACEi or ARB seemed to be better than ACEi or ARB alone. Astragaloside IV could decrease the urinary albumin excretion rate and could protect against renal injuries linking to its anti-oxidation ability. We aimed to investigate the effect of astragaloside IV combined with ACEi on diabetic nephropathy and to explore whether its underlying mechanism is dependent on anti-oxidation. 8-week-old male experiment mice were randomly assigned to five groups: lean wild type (wt) group, db/db group, db/db + astragaloside IV group, db/db + enalapril group, db/db + combination therapy with astragaloside IV and enalapril group. During the experiment, 24 hours urinary albumin, fasting glucose, body weight, and metabolic parameters were monitored in regular intervals. At the end of the study, tail blood pressure, serum H
