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

backgroundAlcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a significant global health concern, primarily resulting from chronic alcohol consumption, with oxidative stress as a key driver. The ethyl acetate extract of

methodsUltra-Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled with Quadrupole-Orbitrap Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS) was used to identify CGE components. A C57BL/6J mouse model of ALD was established via daily oral ethanol (56%) for six weeks, with CGE treatment at low (100 mg/kg) and high doses (200 mg/kg). Silibinin (100 mg/kg) served as a positive control. Liver function markers, oxidative stress indicators, and inflammatory markers were assessed. Transcriptomic and network pharmacology analyses identified key genes and pathways, validated by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blotting.

resultsUPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS identified 81 CGE compounds, mainly including terpenoids, flavonoids, and phenylpropanoids. CGE significantly ameliorated liver injury by reducing alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels and enhancing antioxidative markers such as total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) while lowering hepatic malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. Inflammation was mitigated through reduced levels of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-α), Interleukin-1 Beta (IL-1β), and C-X-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 10 (CXCL-10). Transcriptomic and network pharmacology analysis revealed seven key antioxidant-related genes, including

conclusionsCGE mitigates oxidative stress and liver injury by activating the P21/Nrf2/HO-1 pathway and regulating antioxidant genes. Its hepatoprotective effects and multi-target mechanisms highlight CGE's potential as a promising therapeutic candidate for ALD treatment.
