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

Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a prevalent functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by the absence of organic lesions; it affects nearly one-fifth of the global population. There is currently no specific drug for treating it. Citri reticulatae Pericarpium (CRP) has been utilized in China for millennia as a therapeutic agent for alleviating bloating and spleen-stomach disharmony. Nonetheless, the curative efficacy and precise molecular mechanisms implicated in FD warrant further investigation. This study aims to address this gap by investigating the potential mechanisms of CRP against FD using HPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS, network analysis prediction, and experimental validation. In this study, 90 CRP metabolites were identified by HPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS; 70 common targets of CRP and FD were extracted, and the top ten overlapped targets included MAPK1, MAPK2, and MAPK3. KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that the MAPK pathways were predominant and involved the TLR4 signaling pathway.
