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
Geniposide (GE), a bioactive compound extracted from the fruit of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis, has attracted significant attention for its hepatoprotective therapeutic applications. Although GE displays a protective effect on treating intrahepatic cholestasis (IC), the underlying mechanism remains elusive. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the pharmacological mechanisms of GE in treating IC by an integrated analysis of transcriptomics and metabolomics. Firstly, we evaluated the hepatoprotective effect of GE in α-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT)-induced IC rats by examining biochemical indices, inflammatory factors, and oxidative stress levels. Secondly, by transcriptomics and serum metabolomics, we identified differentially expressed genes and metabolites, revealing phenotype-related metabolic pathways and gene functions. Lastly, we screened the core targets of GE in the treatment of IC by integrating transcriptomic and metabolomic data and validated these targets using western blotting. The results indicated that GE improved serum indexes and alleviated inflammation reactions and oxidative stress in the liver. The transcriptomics analysis revealed 739 differentially expressed genes after GE treatment, mainly enriched in retinol metabolism, steroid hormone synthesis, PPAR signal transduction, bile secretion metabolism, and other pathways. The metabolomics analysis identified 98 differential metabolites and 10 metabolic pathways. By constructing a "genes-targets-pathways-compounds" network, we identified two pathways: the bile secretion pathway and the glutathione pathway. Within these pathways, we discovered nine crucial targets that were subsequently validated through western blotting. The results revealed that the GE group significantly increased the expression of ABCG5, NCEH1, OAT3, and GST, compared with the ANIT group. We speculate that GE has a therapeutic effect on IC by modulating the bile secretion pathway and the glutathione pathway and regulating the expression of ABCG5, NCEH1, OAT3, and GST.
