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

Jieyu Anshen Granule is a traditional Chinese medicine prescription used for depression and primarily comprises five herbal medicines: Zhizi, Chaihu, Zhigancao, Danggui, and Yuanzhi. This study established a traditional Chinese herbal medicine-specific library using emerging ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-orbitrap-tandem mass spectrometry analysis. Through library comparison, the study has fulfilled isomers distinction. As a result, 47 compounds were simultaneously and putatively identified from Jieyu Anshen Granule, including 12 unexpected compounds and 35 expected compounds. The unexpected compounds comprised cyclocommunol, 5-hydroxyflavone, tangeretin, 3,5,6,7,8,3',4'-heptemethoxyflavone, calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucoside, 7,4'-dihydroxyflavone, naringenin-7-O-β-D-glucoside, matrine, betaine, jervine, alantolactone, and hypericin. Among the 35 expected compounds, saikosaponin A, saikosaponin D, glycyrrhizic acid, geniposide, ligustilide, and polygalaxanthone III were further investigated using a quantum chemistry approach. Based on these, an effective quality assessment strategy is proposed for the Pharmacopeia, involving the simultaneous analysis of glycyrrhizic acid, geniposide, ligustilide, polygalaxanthone III, saikosaponins A and D through ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-orbitrap-tandem mass spectrometry analysis. This strategy enables the detection of adulteration in relation to Zhizi, Chaihu, Zhigancao, Danggui, and Yuanzhi in Jieyu Anshen Granule. The findings of unexpected compounds will deepen the understanding of chemistry in Jieyu Anshen Granule.
