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

contextEvodiamine, which is isolated from

objectiveThe protective effects of evodiamine in asthma were evaluated. MATERIALS AND

methodsThirty-two Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were used, asthma was induced by injecting intraperitoneally with a mixture of Al(OH)

resultsCytokine levels in the serum and BALF were lower in the evodiamine-treated group than in the asthma group. Evodiamine treatment reduced IgE and IFN-γ levels as well as the inflammatory cell infiltrate in the lung tissue of asthmatic rats. The thickness of the smooth muscle layer and airway wall of intact small bronchioles was less in the evodiamine-treated group than in the asthma group. Lower levels of TLR-4, MyD88, NF-κB, and HMGB1 mRNA in lung tissue were measured in the evodiamine-treated group than in the asthma group. DISCUSSION AND

conclusionThe effect of evodiamine treatment protects the asthma, as evodiamine reduces airway inflammation and remodelling in the lung tissue by downregulating the HMGB1/NF-κB/TLR-4 pathway in asthma.
