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

Rhizoma Polygonati (RP) is the dried rhizome of the liliaceous plant. It has anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptosis effects. But its role in kidney stones has not been studied. The purpose of this study was to verify the effect of RP in the treatment of nephrolithiasis through network pharmacological analysis and in vivo experiments. The active compounds and protein targets of RP, as well as the potential targets of the nephrolithiasis were searched from the database. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network diagram and the drug-compounds-targets-disease network were constructed. The enrichment analysis was performed by Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). Subsequently, the effect of RP on the prevention and treatment of nephrolithiasis was experimentally validated in vivo. Animal experiments showed that RP ameliorates renal function and reduced crystal deposition in a mouse model. It may act through anti-inflammation and anti-apoptosis. Our study showed that RP could prevent and treat nephrolithiasis by inhibiting apoptosis and inflammation, which provided a new efficacy and clinical application for RP.
