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

backgroundSkin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) are a group of common diseases, usually caused by bacteria. Shangke Huangshui (SK) has been widely used to treat various SSTIs diseases for many years, but its mechanism is unclear. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the anti-infective effect of SK on different skin and soft tissue infection diseases and to explore its underlying mechanism.

methodsThe subcutaneous abscess mouse model, the dermal ulcer rat model, and the infectious soft tissue injury rat model were established by injection of

resultsSK had an obvious therapeutic effect on skin and soft tissue infections. It reduced the volume of abscess and promoted the healing of skin ulcer, improved pathological phenomena, such as inflammatory infiltration of skin and soft tissue, reduced the levels of white blood cells and NO in the blood, decreased bacteria contents in the skin and soft tissue. Furthermore, SK decreased the mRNA expression of TLR2, MyD88, TAK1, NF-

conclusionThe experiments provide evidence that SK can treat skin and soft tissue infection diseases based on its comprehensive antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. The therapeutic mechanism may be associated with the inhibition of TLR2/MyD88/NF-
