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

objectivesTo examine the anti-inflammatory properties and underlying mechanisms of Tongfeng Li'an Granules (TFLA), a traditional medicine, in acute gouty arthritis using a rat model. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe identified 55 major compounds in TFLA via ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography connected to quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-TQF-MS/MS). Databases were employed for the prediction of potential targets, followed by PPI network construction as well as GO and KEGG analyses. After network-pharmacology-based analysis, a rat gouty arthritis model was used to validate the anti-inflammatory mechanism of TFLA.

resultsUPLC-TQF-MS/MS and network pharmacology analyses revealed 55 active ingredients and 160 targets of TFLA associated with gouty arthritis, forming an ingredient-target-disease network. The PPI network identified 20 core targets, including TLR2, TLR4, IL6, NFκB, etc. Functional enrichment analyses highlighted the Toll-like receptor signaling pathway as significantly enriched by multiple targets, validated in in vivo experiments. Animal experiments demonstrated that TFLA improved pathological changes in gouty joint synovium, with decreased ankle joint circumference, serum IL6, IL10, and TNFα levels, as well as reduced protein and mRNA expression of NLRP3, TLR2, and TLR4 in ankle joint synovial tissue observed in the middle- and high-dose TFLA and positive control groups compared to the model group (

conclusionThis research elucidated the pharmacological mechanisms of TFLA against gouty arthritis, implicating various ingredients, targets, and signaling pathways. Animal experiments confirmed TFLA's efficacy in alleviating inflammation in acute gouty arthritis by modulating Toll-like receptor signaling and NLRP3 expression.
