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
objectiveto explore the nature of ascending-descending-floating-sinking of Traditional Chinese Medicine on normal rats using gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRh).
methodsNormal male Sprague-Dawley rats were orally administered six floating Chinese medicines and seven sinking Chinese medicines for 14 d. then, GnRh and relevant indicators were detected. Initially, the different effects of floating and sinking drugs on the body were explored. To verify the effects of floating and sinking drugs on the body, normal rats were orally administered Mahuang (Herba Ephedra Sinica) and Tinglizi (Semen Lepidii Apetali) for 14 d. Then, GnRh antagonists were administered. We observed the changes of relevant indicators and clarified the correlation between GnRh and the laws of floating and sinking.
resultsFloating Chinese medicines significantly increased the testicular coefficients; GnRh level in the serum; the protein level of GnRh receptor (GnRhR) in the testis; and the mRNA levels of androgen receptor (AR), small C-terminal domain phosphatase (SCP) 3, SCP2, SYCE1, SMC1B, SMC3, and Rec8 (P < 0.01 or < 0.05). Sinking Chinese medicines did not react similarly, while GnRh antagonists blocked the regulatory effect of Mahuang (Herba Ephedra Sinica) but did not affect Tinglizi (Semen Lepidii Apetali).
conclusionsGnRh may be closely related to the nature of ascending-descending-floating-sinking of Chinese medicine. Floating Chinese medicines may promote their medicinal properties by regulating GnRH level; however, sinking Chinese medicines did not affect GnRh level.
