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

Tripterygium glycosides tablets (TGT) are the commonly used preparation for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the changes in TGT on RA are still unclear at the metabolic level. This study aimed to reveal the biological processes of TGT in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rats through integrated metabolomics and network analysis. First, the CIA model in rats was established, and the CIA rats were given three doses of TGT. Then, the endogenous metabolites in the serum from normal rats, CIA rats, and CIA rats treated with varying doses of TGT were detected by UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS. Next, univariate and multivariate statistical analyses were performed to find the differential metabolites. Finally, differential metabolites, metabolic pathways, and hub genes were analyzed integrally to reveal the biological processes of TGT in CIA rats. The paw diameter, arthritis score, immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentration, CT image, and histological assay showed that TGT had evident therapeutic effects on CIA rats. Untargeted metabolomics revealed that TGT could ameliorate the down-regulation of lipid levels in CIA rats. Four key differential metabolites were found including LysoP(18:0), LysoPA(20:4), LysoPA(18:2), and PS(O-20:0/17:1). The glycerophospholipid metabolic pathway was perturbed in treating CIA with TGT. A total of 24 genes, including
