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
D. huoshanense is a traditional Chinese medicine with antidiabetes effects, but the underlying metabolic regulatory mechanism remains unknown. Plasma metabolomic analysis was applied to assess the metabolic regulatory mechanism underlying the alleviation of streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetes (STZ-T1D) by D. huoshanense. The successfully STZ-T1D model rats were assigned to the model group, the model + water extract of D. huoshanense (DHWE) group, and the model + metformin (MET) group. They were administered the corresponding medication by gavage. After 28 days, the plasma levels of glucose, malondialdehyde (MDA), C-reactive protein (CRP), and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) were determined. Morphological changes in the pancreatic islet tissue were analyzed via hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. The expression of occludin-1, zonula occludens protein 1 (ZO-1) and protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) in the ileum tissue was determined via western blotting. Nontargeted metabolome analysis of the plasma was performed via ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography. The results revealed that DHWE reduced blood glucose, C-reactive protein, and MDA levels; increased plasma T-AOC; improved intestinal mucous integrity and pancreatic islet morphological structure; and alleviated intestinal endoplasmic reticulum stress. Plasma metabolomics revealed that DHWE significantly increased the levels of ascorbic acid 2-sulfate, L-thyroxine, phosphatidylcholine (PC) (14:0e/5:0), and PC (16:1e/4:0); decreased the levels of D-(-)-fructose and indole-3-lactic acid; and significantly affected ascorbate and aldarate metabolism and glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism in STZ-T1D rats (p < 0.05), and the effects on the citric acid cycle and pyruvate metabolism tended to be significant (p < 0.1). This study confirmed that DHWE alleviated STZ-T1D by reducing oxidative stress and the inflammatory response, enhancing intestinal mucosa integrity and affecting mainly the energy metabolism and vitamin C metabolism of STZ-T1D rats.
