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: Hypoxia-induced pulmonary vascular remodeling is central to the development of high-altitude pulmonary hypertension (HAPH). Aims: This study aimed to identify bioactive equivalent combinatorial components (BECCs) of ACRT that alleviate pulmonary vascular remodeling in HAPH rats and explore the underlying pharmacological mechanisms. Methods: Seventy adult Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control, hypoxia, hypoxia + ACRT (150 mg/kg), hypoxia + BECCs (25, 50, and 100 mg/kg), and hypoxia + sildenafil (30 mg/kg) groups. An HAPH rat model was induced using a hypobaric hypoxia chamber simulating an altitude of 5,000 m. The effects of BECCs on pulmonary vascular remodeling in HAPH rats were evaluated based on hemodynamic indexes and histopathological changes, alongside antioxidant properties. Phosphoproteomics and Western blotting were performed to analyze AKT1-related protein expression in lung tissues. Results: HAPH rat models were successfully established, as evidenced by changes in physiological parameters. BECCs showed comparable efficacy to ACRT in restoring hemodynamic indexes and histopathological changes. Mechanistically, BECCs modulated AKT phosphorylation and related protein expression. Conclusion: BECCs demonstrated comparable efficacy to ACRT in alleviating HAPH progression, reversing hypoxia-induced vascular remodeling, and inhibiting oxidative stress and PASMC proliferation by targeting the AKT protein. Flavonoids were identified as the key bioactive components contributing to the holistic effects of BECCs by regulating phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) pathways. These findings could be extended to improve quality control and clarify the bioactive components of
