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
Background: Jianpi Yangxue Qufeng Compound (JPYXQFC) is a Chinese medicine widely used in the clinical treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD) and has a significantly therapeutic effect. However, the mechanism of JPYXQFC in AD has been not understood clearly. Objective: This study aimed to explore the effect of JPYXQFC on AD model cells and rats by regulating TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway. Methods: The rats (n > 5) were given JPYXQFC decoction orally twice a day for three days, and their abdominal aortic blood was collected. HaCaT cell proliferation rate was tested by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assays. We induced AD rat model through 2, 4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB). AD rats were given oral JPYXQFC decoction and cetirizine (positive control). HaCaT cells were pretreated with JPYXQFC drug serum or cetirizine for 0.5 h and then stimulated with TNF-α/IFN-γ for 1 h. The mRNA levels of TLR4, MyD88, NF-κB, IL-4, IL-13, MCP1, TNF-α and TSLP were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (Q-RT-PCR), and TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway protein expression was tested by Western blot. The total serum levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE), thymus and activation regulated chemokine/chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 17 (TARC/CCL17) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The epidermal thickness was detected by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. The dermatitis area and score were measured by a ruler and a four-point scoring method, respectively. Results: JPYXQFC significantly inhibited mRNA and protein expression of the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway and Histone H3 in TNF-α/IFN-γ-induced HaCaT cells and DNFB-induced rats, decreased the mRNA of IL-4, IL-13, MCP1, CCL22, TSLP and the level of AD-related genes IgE and TAEC/CCL17 of TNF-α/IFN-γ-induced HaCaT cells. Meanwhile, JPYXQFC significantly reduced the dermatitis area and dermatitis score in DNFB-induced rats, inhibited the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α, and upregulated FLG, as well as inhibited the levels of IgE and TARC/CCL17 in the serum of AD rats. Conclusion: JPYXQFC alleviates AD by inhibiting the activation of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway.
