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

Background: Chronic heart failure (CHF) is one of the leading causes of high mortality worldwide. It is characterized by pathological hypertrophy and poses a major threat to human health. Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata is widely used in ancient China to treat CHF. However, the pathology is obscured, necessitating further exploration. Methods: Prospective targets were predicted by network analysis. A transverse aortic constriction (TAC) mice model was subsequently constructed to determine the effects of aqueous extract of Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata (AEA) on CHF. The echocardiography was performed to investigate cardiac function. Histopathological analysis of cardiac tissue was conducted to assess myocardial fibrosis. Nontargeted metabolomics was performed to analyze serum metabolites. The phosphorylation level of PI3K and AKT, and downstream targets such as Bnip3, p62, Atg5, and LC3II were measured by Western blotting. Results: AEA significantly alleviated CHF. Network analysis indicated the participation of AKT in CHF, and was modulated by Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata. Conclusion: This study revealed that AEA improved cardiac function via the PI3K/AKT/Bnip3 pathway.
