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

contextQingre Huoxue (QRHX) decoction, a traditional Chinese medicine, has been widely used to prevent and treat myocardial infarction (MI).

objectiveThis study elucidates the possible mechanisms of QRHX in preventing or treating MI in a rat model. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe chemical constituents of QRHX were identified by UPLC-MS. Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the Sham (normal saline), Model (normal saline), QRHX-L, QRHX-M and QRHX-H group (

resultsA total of 68 active components of QRHX corresponding to 223 active targets were obtained and 2558 MI-related disease targets were collected. After integration, 123 QRHX anti-MI targets were obtained, and 70 signalling pathways, such as PI3K/Akt, were identified by enrichment analysis. DISCUSSION AND

conclusionsQRHX plays a protective role in the myocardium by mediating PI3K/Akt signalling pathway to activate autophagy and inhibiting inflammatory factor expression. These findings provide a scientific basis for further research and validation of QRHX as a potential therapeutic for MI.
