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

Baicalein (BN) is an active ingredient naturally present in Chinese herbs, such as Scutellaria baicalein, Coptis chinensis, and Dendrobium officinale. It has a variety of pharmacological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. Therefore, Baicalein (BN) is widely used in the field of medicine and is considered a potential natural medicine. Osteoporosis (OP) is a bone metabolic disease characterized by decreased bone mineral density and bone structure destruction, which is mainly caused by decreased bone formation and increased bone resorption. With the continuous development of molecular biology, the signaling pathways and gene targets of bone metabolism are also expanding. Recent studies have shown that baicalein may affect the function of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells through MAPK/ERK and MAPKs/NF-κB signaling pathways, so as to have a therapeutic effect on OP. However, the specific mechanism of baicalein in the treatment of OP is still unclear. This article reviews the literature, analyzes and summarizes the mechanism of action of baicalein, and discusses its potential in the prevention and treatment of OP, so as to provide a basis for the clinical application of baicalein.
