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

Background: Naoluotong granules (NLTGs) are a medicinal formula derived from traditional Chinese medicine, which have been demonstrated to be effective in slowing down the progression of atherosclerosis (AS) through clinical practice and animal experiments. By means of multidimensional analysis, the relevant mechanism of NLTGs in delaying the progression of atherosclerosis was studied, which is conducive to its widespread adoption. Materials and methods: In this study, data from network pharmacology and GEO database were comprehensively analysed to identify differentially expressed core cluster genes (DECCGs). Subsequently, multilevel analyses were applied to investigate the potential mechanistic linkages and causal associations of NLTGs in delaying atherosclerosis. Results: Eight DECCGs positively correlated with atherosclerosis risk were identified, with Conclusions: Employing multidimensional analysis, we identified core pairs, components, and targets of NLTGs. Our multilevel analysis of DECCGs enabled the construction of a clinical prediction model, highlighting CTSB as a risk target for AS. Additionally, we unveiled NLTGs' mechanisms closely tied to the polarization and regulation of macrophage, facilitating subsequent research and application.
