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.
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
introductionSevere acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a clinical emergency often accompanied by inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), which eventually leads to acute lung injury and failure of other organs. The activation of liver Kupffer cells (KCs) plays a major role in the process of SIRS and multiorgan damage caused by SAP. Da-Huang-Fu-Zi-Tang (DHFZT), a traditional Chinese prescription, has been widely used for SAP in the clinic. The present study investigated the activation state of KCs in SAP and the potential mechanism of DHFZT.
methodsA total of 24 Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned to four groups: SH (sham operation group + saline enema), SH-DHFZT (sham operation group + DHFZT enema), SAP (model group + saline enema), and SAP-DHFZT (model group + DHFZT enema). Blood samples were drawn from the abdominal aorta for measuring serum endotoxin, amylase, calcium ion, IL-1
resultsIn the SAP group, the CD86+ KCs were significantly increased with a high level of IL-1
conclusionThese phenomena suggested that the SIRS and multiple organ damage in SAP might be related to the excessive activation of M1 KCs, and DHFZT might alleviate the SIRS by inducing the differentiation of KCs into the M2-type and promote the expression of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10.
