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

Andrographis paniculata, a medicinal plant in Thailand national list of essential medicines, has been proposed for treatment of patients with mild to moderate coronavirus disease 2019. This study aims to develop a highly selective and sensitive liquid chromatography triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry method for quantitative determination of major diterpenoids in plasma and urine with application in pharmacokinetics. Chromatographic separation was performed on C18 column using a gradient mobile phase of water and acetonitrile. Mass spectrometry was analyzed using multiple reaction monitoring with negative ionization mode. This validated analytical method was very sensitive, less time consuming in analysis, and allowed the reliability and reproducibility on its application. The clinical pharmacokinetics was evaluated after single oral administration of A. paniculata extract (calculated as 60 mg of andrographolide). The disposition kinetics demonstrated that major diterpenoids could enter into systemic circulation, but they are mostly biotransformed (phase II) into conjugated glucuronide and sulfate metabolites. These metabolites are predominantly found in plasma and then extremely eliminated, in part through urinary excretion. The successful application of this analytical method supports its suitable uses in further clinical benefits after oral administration of A. paniculata.
