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

Norwogonin is a flavonoid extraction derived from Scutellaria baicalensis. However, its potential mechanisms in the context of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are unclear. This study investigates the specific effects and associated targets of Norwogonin in RA-related inflammatory osteolysis. Network pharmacology was conducted to analyse the core targets and signalling pathways of Norwogonin in RA. In vitro experiments were carried out to explore the actual effects of Norwogonin on osteoclast behaviours and related signalling mechanisms. In vivo studies further validated the therapeutic effect of Norwogonin in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice. The network pharmacological analysis identified 18 shared targets between Norwogonin and RA, indicating a connection with inflammatory response and oxidoreductase activity. For biological validations, the results of in vitro experiments revealed 160 μM of Norwogonin inhibited LPS-driven osteoclast differentiation and function. The qPCR assay and Western blot analysis also disclosed consistently diminished changes to osteoclastic marker genes and proteins due to Norwogonin treatment, including those for osteoclast differentiation (Traf6, Tnfrsf11a and Nfatc1), fusion (Atp6v0d2, Dcstamp and Ocstamp) and function (Mmp9, Ctsk and Acp5). Further mechanism study revealed Norwogonin suppressed LPS-driven ROS production and calcium (Ca
