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

Introduction: Ophiopogonanone B is a potent component of Qinbai Qingfei-concentrated pills (Qinbai), a new traditional Chinese medicine developed by our hospital for the treatment of Methods: Ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) was used to detect ophiopogonanone B. Molecular docking of ophiopogonanone B with TRPA1 was performed using Autodock Vina 1.1.2, and subsequent visualization and analysis of docking outcomes were facilitated using Pymol 2.1 and Discovery Studio. For the evaluation of the pathological structure and morphology, lung tissue sections from mice were prepared for animal experiments and subjected to hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and Masson staining. The impact of ophiopogonanone B on the protein and mRNA expression levels of TRPA1, SP, and CGRP in mouse lung tissue was assessed using immunohistochemistry and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results: The samples acquired through Biacore fishing, which were identified and analyzed by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS, confirmed the presence of ophiopogonanone B. This compound exhibited robust and specific binding affinity for TRPA1. Histological staining using HE and Masson techniques revealed that the lung tissue morphology and structure in the ophiopogonanone B-treated group closely mirrored those observed in the blank group. Subsequent immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR revealed a significant reduction ( Conclusion: By decreasing the expression of TRPA1, SP, and CGRP in the lung tissues of mice afflicted with coughing due to
