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

Chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) as the culprit of kidney failure can increase the mortality of critically ill patients and seriously threatens people's health all over the world. This study using metabolomics strategy is to reveal the potential therapeutic mechanism-related targets to evaluate the effects of rhein (RH) on CGN rats. Changes of serum metabolites and pathways were analyzed by non-targeted metabolomic method based on liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) combined with ingenuity pathway analysis. In addition, the levels of biochemical indicators were also detected. A total of 25 potential biomarkers were identified to express serum metabolic turbulence in CGN animal model, and then 16 biomarkers were regulated by RH trending to the normal states. From metabolite enrichment and pathway analysis, pharmacological activity of RH on CGN were mainly involved in six vital metabolic pathways including phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis, phenylalanine metabolism, arachidonic acid metabolism, tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle), alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism, arginine and proline metabolism. It suggested CGN treatment with RH, which may be mediated
