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

Aims: This study aims to screen the potential targets of tetrandrine (Tet) against pulmonary fibrosis (PF) based on network pharmacological analysis, molecular docking and experimental verification. Main methods: The network pharmacology methods were employed to predict targets, construct Tet-PF-intersection target-pathway networks, and screen the candidate targets. The molecular docking was performed using AutoDockTools1.5.6. TGF-β1-induced human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells were used as an Key findings: Six candidate targets were predicted based on network pharmacology and molecular docking, namely Significance: Combined with the results of theoretical calculation and experimental verification, and considering the roles of these targets in the pathogenesis of PF, Tet might antagonize PF by acting on
