QingGan LiDan capsules improved alcoholic liver injury by regulating liver lipid transport and oxidative stress in mice.

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.
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: The QingGan LiDan capsule (QGLD) consists of five traditional Chinese herbs, which have been used for hepatobiliary diseases such as jaundice. However, the effects and mechanisms by which QGLD prevent alcoholic liver diseases (ALD) remain unknown. Aim of the study: Investigate the therapeutic potential of QingGan Lidan capsule (QGLD) in alleviating alcohol-induced liver injury. Materials and Methods: Acute alcoholic liver injury model and chronic and Binge ethanol Feeding Model (NIAAA) model were established. Mice were administered QGLD (360, 720, 1,440 mg/kg) or vehicle. Liver function indicators (ALT, AST), serum lipid (TC, TG), antioxidant markers (SOD, GSH, MDA), lipid metabolism/transport genes relative expression levels, liver and ileal villus morphology were analyzed. Network pharmacology analysis was also performed to identify potential targets and pathways of QGLD. Results: QGLD reduced serum ALT, AST, hepatic TC, TG, and lipid droplet accumulation in both models. It upregulated antioxidant enzymes (SOD, GSH) and downregulated MDA. QGLD regulated the mRNA levels of genes related to the NRF2/KEAP1 pathway and lipid transport. Network pharmacology identified 221 potential targets. Conclusion: QGLD mitigates alcohol-induced liver injury by reducing lipid accumulation, regulating lipid transport and enhancing antioxidant capacity. This supports its potential application in ALD management.
