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

Jieduquyuziyin prescription (JP) is an empirical formula used to treat systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). While JP has been shown to have synergistic and attenuated effects when combined with glucocorticoids (GCs) for SLE treatment, the precise mechanism remains unclear. This study utilized MRL/lpr mice to demonstrate the synergistic and attenuated effects of JP when combined with prednisone. Furthermore, a co-housing experiment was conducted to investigate whether JP-regulated gut microbiota had synergistic and attenuated effects in prednisone-treated MRL/lpr mice. The study found that JP exhibited synergistic effects only when combined with 5 mg/kg body weight prednisone, while its attenuated effects were observed with both 5 and 10 mg/kg body weight prednisone. Co-housing resulted in the transmission of gut microbiota between prednisone-treated and JP-treated MRL/lpr mice. However, co-housing did not enhance the therapeutic efficacy of prednisone; instead, it attenuated prednisone's adverse effects on liver inflammation (IL-6 and TNF-α) and serum cholesterol in MRL/lpr mice. The attenuated effects of JP may be associated with specific genera such as
