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

Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu decoction (HGWD) has been demonstrated to ameliorate cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in clinical application. Nevertheless, the exact mechanisms of HGWD have not been conclusively elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the potential role and mechanism of HGWD on neurological deficits in a rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Our results showed that HGWD significantly alleviated neurological deficits in MCAO rats, evidenced by high mNSS score, reduced cerebral infarction area, and improved brain pathological injury. Besides, HGWD reduced the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, SOD, MDA and GSH in the brain tissue. Further study suggested that HGWD promoted microglia polarization towards M2 by inhibiting M1 activation (Iba1
