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
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is closely associated with atrial electrical and structural remodelling, yet effective drug strategies remain limited. Matrine (MAT), the active compound in Sophora flavescens, has shown anti-AF effects, but its mechanisms are unclear. This study explored MAT's impact on pressure overload-induced AF using clinical samples, bioinformatics, network pharmacology and murine models, focusing on the canonical Wnt signalling. A murine pressure overload model was established via transverse aortic constriction (TAC) surgery for 4 weeks. Programmed electrical stimulation, langendorff perfusion, echocardiography, Masson's trichrome staining and western blotting were used to evaluate the potential effects and mechanisms of MAT. The results demonstrated that TAC-induced atrial electrical and structural remodelling significantly increased susceptibility to AF in mice while also up-regulated atrial Wnt3a/β-catenin signalling as well as markers for remodelling and inflammation, which were partially supported by clinical samples. MAT dose-dependently mitigated atrial structural and electrical remodelling. Furthermore, MAT intervention inhibited Wnt3a/β-catenin signalling. However, co-administration of SKL2001, a Wnt/β-catenin agonist, counteracted MAT's benefits. The overall findings suggest that MAT treatment may serve as a potential therapeutic approach for inhibiting TAC-induced atrial electrical and structural remodelling by suppressing Wnt3a/β-catenin signalling pathways, thereby reducing susceptibility to AF.
