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

Tanshinone, a lipophilic component of Salvia miltiorrhiza, is used to treat diseases like atherosclerosis, hypertension, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes mellitus through its pharmacological activities like anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and anti-tumor. Excessive inflammation is the primary cause of bone diseases such as osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis, affecting more than millions of people across the globe. Recently, tanshinone has shown potential benefits against bone diseases by modulating signaling pathways accountable for the proliferation and differentiation of bone cells. In vitro and in vivo studies reported that tanshinone promotes osteoblast formation and mineralization and suppresses excessive bone resorption during disease conditions. In this review, we have summarized the beneficial effects of tanshinone and other extracts of Salvia miltiorrhiza for bone health and their potential molecular targets in signaling.
