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

Purpose: To study the efficacy of Qianshan Huoxue Gao (QS) in treating acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and to explore the mechanism of action from the perspective of intestinal flora regulation. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control, model, QS, and atorvastatin groups; except for the control group, rats underwent ligation of the left anterior descending branch of the coronary artery. Following treatment for 28 days, cardiac function was evaluated using an echocardiographic assay; ELISAs for serum creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin (IL)-2 (IL-2), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α); assessment of cardiac enzymes and inflammatory response; hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining for histopathological changes in the heart, skin, and viscera; 16S rRNA gene sequencing for intestinal flora diversity and structural differences analysis; and we further investigated intestinal contents using metabolomics. Results: Compared with controls, CK-MB and cTnI were increased ( Conclusion: QS can effectively treat ACS and can restore regulation of the intestinal flora. EA may be the primary metabolite of QS, exerting a therapeutic effect in ACS.
