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

backgroundXuebijing (XBJ) injection has been used to treat sepsis. However, the effect and mechanism of XBJ injection in the treatment of septic acute kidney injury (AKI) is unknown. This study aimed to explore the therapeutic effect of XBJ injection on septic AKI and elucidate its possible mechanisms.

methodsNetwork pharmacological analysis was conducted using databases of GeneCards, TCMSP, SwissTargetPrediction and STRING.

resultsNetwork pharmacological analysis identified Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) as the core gene in XBJ against septic AKI, and the inflammatory response was the most enriched pathway. XBJ treatment significantly alleviated tubular damage in CLP mice by down-regulating serum creatinine (SCr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM1), and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL). Furthermore, both

conclusionThis study indicates that XBJ injection is a promising drug for the treatment of septic AKI.
