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

objectiveThis study aims to explore the therapeutic efficacy of San Zi Yang Qin Decoction (SZ) and its potential mechanism in the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) based on network pharmacology and

methodsEffective chemicals and targets of SZ were searched in online databases, according to the drug-likeness of compounds and the binomial distribution of targets. A disease-target-chemical network was established using NAFLD-associated genes screened through GeneCards database, Gene Ontology (GO) terms, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways. Furthermore, animal experiments were conducted to verify the efficacy and mechanism of SZ predicted by network pharmacology. The NAFLD mouse model was established with C57BL/6J mice fed with a high-fat diet for 22 weeks. The mice in the control group were fed with a chow diet. From the 23

resultsA total of 27 effective compounds and 20 targets of SZ were screened. GO analysis uncovered a significant correlation between the targets of SZ and those of NAFLD. KEGG analysis presented the signaling pathways enriched in SZ and NAFLD, including NAFLD, TNF-
