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

backgroundSpleen deficiency-water dampness symptom is closely related to body fluid-mediated organism metabolism and circulation. However, previous clinical evaluation of spleen deficiency-water dampness model was based only on body weight, D-xylose excretion rate, serum gastrin content, etc. Therefore, we established a large sample of normal rats and model rats experiment to verify the scientific nature of bio-impedance measuring body fluid indexes for evaluation of the modeling state. Pharmacodynamics research on Danggui-Shaoyao- San (DSS) was conducted through body fluid index changes of rats using bio-impedance technology.

methodsA spleen deficiency-water dampness symptom rat model was established through an inappropriate diet combined with excess fatigue. Experimental rats were divided into a normal control group, a model control group, a positive drug control group (hydrochlorothiazide), a blood-activating group, a water-disinhibiting group, and a DSS group. Total Body Water/Body Weight (TBW%), extracellular fluid/total body water content (ECF%), intracellular fluid/total body water content (ICF%), extracellular fluid/intracellular fluid (ECF/ICF), fat mass/body weight (FM%), fat-free mass/body weight (FFM%), and fat mass/fat-free mass (FM/FFM) of 150 rats were detected by a Bio-Imp Vet Body analyzer.

resultsThe TBW% of the model control group increased significantly, and the FM/FFM was significantly reduced compared with the normal group (P < 0.05) (P < 0.01), showing symptoms of spleen deficiency and diarrhea; the TBW% of the blood-activating group, and the waterdisinhibiting group decreased significantly, and the FM/FFM increased significantly (P < 0.05) (P < 0.01). The TBW% and FM/FFM in the water-disinhibiting group had returned to nearnormal values compared with the model control group. The blood-activating and waterdisinhibiting split prescriptions in DSS are both effective in treating spleen deficiency-water dampness rats. Comparatively, the fluid-regulating effect of split prescriptions in DSS was even stronger than that of DSS as shown in the present study.

conclusionsThese findings suggest that using bio-impedance technology to measure body fluid indexes can pave a road for further exploring the molecular mechanism of the reason why the blood-activating and disinhibit-water split prescriptions in DSS are both effective in treating spleen deficiency-water dampness rats.
