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
Anaprazole, a new proton pump inhibitor (PPI), is designed for the treatment of acid-related diseases, such as gastric ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux. This study explored the in vitro metabolic transformation of anaprazole. The metabolic stabilities of anaprazole in human plasma and human liver microsomes (HLM) were analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Then, the contribution (%) of non-enzymatic and cytochrome P450s (CYPs) enzyme-mediated anaprazole metabolism was assessed. To obtain the metabolic pathways of anaprazole, the metabolites generated in HLM, thermal deactivated HLM, and cDNA-expressed recombinant CYPs incubation systems were identified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography/quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC/Q-TOF-MS). Results showed that anaprazole was very stable in human plasma and unstable in HLM. The contribution (%) of non-enzymatic vs. CYPs enzyme-mediated metabolism was 49% vs. 51%. CYP3A4 was the major enzyme (48.3%), followed by CYP2C9 (17.7%) and CYP2C8 (12.3%), in responsible for the metabolism of anaprazole. Specific chemical inhibitors targeting CYP enzymes notably blocked the metabolic transformation of anaprazole. Six metabolites of anaprazole were identified in the non-enzymatic system, whereas 17 metabolites were generated in HLM. The biotransformation reactions mainly included sulfoxide reduction to thioether, sulfoxide oxidation to sulfone, deoxidation, dehydrogenation, O-dealkylation or O-demethylation of thioether, O-demethylation and dehydrogenation of thioether, O-dealkylation and dehydrogenation of thioether, thioether O-dealkylation and dehydrogenation of thioether, and O-dealkylation of sulfone. Both enzymatic and non-enzymatic metabolisms contribute to the clearance of anaprazole in human. Anaprazole is less likely to develop drug-drug interactions in clinical use compared to other PPIs.
