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 observe the curative effect of Huaiqihuang Granules adjuvant therapy on primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS).

methodsA total of 112 children with PNS were randomly divided into three groups, and changes in serum inflammatory cytokines, interleukin, lymphocyte subsets and immunoglobulin were observed.

resultsBefore treatment, IL-18, TNF-α, CD8+ increased, while IL-10, CD4+, NK cells, IgA, IgG and Foxp3+Treg cells decreased. After Huaiqihuang Granules treatment, IL-18, TNF-α, CD8+ decreased, while IL-10, CD4+, NK cells, IgA, IgG and Foxp3+Treg cells increased.

conclusionFunctions of cell immunity and humoral immunity in PNS patients before treatment were suppressed and disordered. Huaiqihuang granules can play a role in immunoregulation, with slight side reactions.
