Feasibility of mixed herbal medicine for improving gastric function in an alcohol-induced gastritis model.
Article in Physical activity and nutrition, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeExcessive exercise causes various gastric dysfunction. Gastritis is common among athletes who perform high-intensity training. Gastritis is a digestive disease involving mucosal damage caused by inflammatory reactions and oxidative stress. In this study, the effects of a complex natural extract on gastric mucosal damage and the expression of inflammatory factors were evaluated in an animal model of alcohol-induced gastritis.
methodsA mixed herbal medicine (Ma-al-gan; MAG) was prepared with four natural products (Curcumae longae Rhizoma, Schisandrae chinensis Fructus, Artemisiae scopariae herba, and Gardeniae Fructus) identified by a systemic analysis using the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology platform. The effects of MAG on alcohol-induced gastric damage were evaluated.
resultsMAG (10-100 μg/mL) significantly reduced the mRNA and protein levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. MAG (500 mg/kg/d) effectively prevented alcohol-induced gastric mucosal injury in vivo.
conclusionMAG regulates inflammatory signals and oxidative stress and is a potential herbal medicine for gastric disorders.
