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

aimWe aimed to explore the effects of Bupleuri Radix (BR) on the recurrence of resected colonic polyp (CP) by measuring angiogenin-2-induced protein kinase B (Ang PKB)/Akt signaling.

methodThe main ingredients of BR were extracted by using ethanol and measured by HPLC. One hundred twenty patients with CP >10 mm who underwent resected surgery were randomly allocated to an aspirin (AG) or a BR medicine (BG) group. The allocation ratio was 1 : 1 and the intervention duration was one year. The recurrence rate of resected CP was investigated and the plasma levels of Ang PKB/Akt and inflammatory cytokines were measured using ELISA kits. After one-year surgery, side effects were recorded. The relationship between the serum levels of the main compounds of BR and plasma levels of Ang PKB/Akt was analyzed.

resultsThe main ingredients of CP are paeoniflorin, baicalin, saikosaponin A, and bupleurum saponin B2. Recurrence of resected CP was found in 17 patients from the AG group and eight patients from the BG group after one-year follow-up (

conclusionBR significantly reduces the recurrence risk of resected CP by affecting Ang PKB/Akt signaling.
