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

introductionSanjin Paishi Decoction (SJPSD) has positive effects on stone prevention; however, there is a lack of convincing evidence in the prevention of calcium oxalate stones. This study aimed investigates the effect of SJPSD on calcium oxalate stones and to explore its mechanism.

methodsThe rat model of calcium oxalate stones was established and rats were treated with different doses of SJPSD. The pathological damage of kidney tissues was observed by HE staining, the deposition of calcium oxalate crystals in kidney tissues was examined by Von Kossa staining, and the levels of creatinine (CREA), urea (UREA), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), and magnesium (Mg) in serum were analyzed biochemically, the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in serum were measured by ELISA, and the protein expression of Raf1, MEK1, p-MEK1, ERK1/2, p-ERK1/2, and Cleaved caspase-3 in kidney tissues was analyzed by Western blot. Moreover, the changes in gut microbiota were analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing.

resultsSJPSD attenuated the pathological damage of renal tissues, reduced the levels of CREA, UREA, Ca, P, and Mg, and inhibited the expression of Raf1, p-MEK1, p-ERK1/2, and Cleaved caspase-3 in renal tissues (P < 0.05). SJPSD treatment affected the composition of intestinal microbiota in rats with calcium oxalate stones.

conclusionThe mechanism of SJPSD inhibition of calcium oxalate stone injury in rats may be related to the inhibition of the MAPK signaling pathway and regulation of gut microbiota imbalance.
