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

backgroundAlthough Qing-Fei-Pai-Du decoction (QFPDD) is extensively used clinically to treat COVID-19 patients, the mechanism by which it modulates the immunological and metabolic functions of liver tissue remains unknown. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanism of action of QFPDD in the treatment of mice with coronavirus-induced pneumonia by combining integrated hepatic single-cell RNA sequencing and untargeted metabolomics.

methodsWe developed a human coronavirus pneumonia model in BALB/c mice by infecting them with human coronavirus HCoV-229E with stimulating them with cold-damp environment. We initially assessed the status of inflammation and immunity in model mice treated with or without QFPDD by detecting peripheral blood lymphocytes and inflammatory cytokines. Then, single-cell RNA sequencing and untargeted metabolomics were performed on mouse liver tissue.

resultsHCoV-229E infection in combination with exposure to a cold-damp environment significantly decreased the percentage of peripheral blood lymphocytes (CD4

conclusionTo the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to integrate hepatic single-cell RNA sequencing and untargeted metabolomics into a TCM formula and these valuable findings indicate that QFPDD can improve immune function and reduce liver injury and inflammation.
