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.
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 investigate the inhibitory effect of Danshen Injection on endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) induced by peritoneal dialysis fluid in HMrSV5 cells and the role of the TGF‑β/Smad signaling pathway in mediating this effect.
methodsHMrSV5 cells cultured in 40% peritoneal dialysis solution for 72 h to induce EndMT were treated with 0.05%, 0.1% and 0.5% Danshen Injection. CCK-8 assay was used to assess the changes in viability of the treated cells, and the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the cell supernatant were detected using ELISA; Western blotting was performed to detect the protein expressions of E-cadherin, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), p-Smad 2/3, and Smad 7 in the cells.
resultsCulture in 40% peritoneal dialysis fluid for 72 induced significant EndMT in HMrSV5 cells, which exhibited obviously lowered cell viability. Danshen Injection within the concentration range of 0.025%-1.5% did not significantly affect the viability of the cells. Exposure of HMrSV5 cells to peritoneal dialysis fluid for 72 h significantly increased the production of IL-6, TNF‑α, TGF‑β and VEGF, upregulated the protein expressions of α‑SMA and p-Smad 2/3, and lowered the expressions of E-cadherin and Smad7 proteins. Treatment of the exposed cells with Danshen injection significantly increased cell viability and cellular expressions of E-cadherin and Smad 7 proteins and reduced the production of IL-6, TNF-α, TGF-β and VEGF and the protein expressions of α‑SMA and p-Smad 2/3.
conclusionsDanshen Injection can suppress peritoneal dialysis fluid-induced EndMT in HMrSV5 cells possibly by regulating the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway.
