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
Purpose: Osteoporosis is a common skeletal disease characterized by impaired bone microarchitecture, decreased bone mineral density and increased bone fragility, leading to a heavy physical and economic burden due to its greatly increased risk of fracture. Baji capsule is a proprietary medicine that can treat menstrual disorders and postmenopausal osteoporosis. However, the efficacy of Baji capsule has not been reported for osteoporosis caused by oxidative stress and inflammation. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate whether Baji capsule has a therapeutic effect on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory osteoporosis and to explore the underlying mechanisms through network pharmacology. Patients and Methods: Osteoporosis model in ICR mice induced with LPS. Mice were treated with vitamin E (100mg/kg), PBS, high-dose Baji capsule (810mg/kg) and low-dose Baji capsule (90mg/kg), respectively. The therapeutic effect of Baji capsule was evaluated by high-resolution micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT) and tissue section staining, serum inflammatory factor levels were assessed by ELISA, serum oxidative stress-related marker levels were determined by kits, and finally the mechanism was explored by network pharmacology and then verified by immunohistochemistry. Results: Micro-CT results showed that Baji capsule attenuated LPS-induced inflammatory bone loss.Baji capsule also reduced serum inflammatory factor levels and oxygen free radical production. Target screening by network pharmacology yielded a total of 236 active ingredients of Baji capsule, as well as 278 common targets after taking the intersection of Baji capsule active ingredient targets and osteoporosis disease-related targets. Conclusion: Baji capsule can treat osteoporosis by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. The therapeutic effects of Baji capsule were shown to be multi-targeted and multi-pathway through network pharmacology. In the future, its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties can be utilized to further explore its therapeutic effects on inflammatory diseases, as well as a prospective study for the clinical treatment of osteoporosis.
