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
Objective: To investigate the protective effects against abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) and possible mechanisms of Xue Ping tablets (XPT) using a rat model. Methods: A total of 58 unmated female and 25 male SPF SD rats aged 8-9 weeks were selected. Eight unmated female rats were selected as the blank control group according to the complete random method. The other 50 rats were mated in a female/male ratio of 2:1. In the morning after mating, vaginal smears were collected. Presence of vaginal plug or sperm was regarded as the first day of pregnancy. All pregnant rats were given 8.3 mg/kg of mifepristone by gavage at 8:00 a.m. and 100 μg/kg misoprostol by gavage at 6:00 p.m. on the seventh day of pregnancy to induce incomplete abortion, thereby establishing a rat model of AUB. Forty rats were randomly divided into model, low- (220 mg/kg), medium- (441 mg/kg), high-dose (882 mg/kg) XPT, and positive control groups. The positive group was given 130 mg/kg Gong Xue Ning (GXN). The model group and the blank group were given an equal amount of distilled water. Results: Compared with the model group, the volume of bleeding in the positive and middle- and high-dose XPT groups decreased ( Conclusions: XPT could reduce AUB by inhibiting the inflammatory factors involved in the VEGF-ERK1/2 pathway.
