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
Objective: This research aims to clarify the clinical efficacy and potential mechanisms of Fengshi Gutong capsule (FSGTC) in improving inflammatory response and hypercoagulability in osteoarthritis (OA) patients, and to evaluate the safety of FSGTC. Methods: A nested case-control study and association rule analysis were used to evaluate the effects of FSGTC on inflammation, coagulation, and liver and kidney function in OA patients. Screening key pathways for FSGTC treatment of OA through Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis. Subsequently, Hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE), Safranine O-Fast Green staining (S&O), and Immunohistochemistry (IHC) were used to evaluate the effects of FSGTC on cartilage injury, inflammatory cell infiltration, and protein expression in OA rats induced by monosodium iodoacetate (MIA). ELISA detects the expression of pro-inflammatory and procoagulant factors. Organ index and HE staining of organs to evaluate the safety of FSGTC treatment. Subsequently, further validate the above results in IL-1β - stimulated chondrocytes. Results: The clinical data analysis showed that FSGTC can significantly improve inflammation and coagulation indicators in OA patients. The KEGG pathway enrichment analysis results showed that PI3K/AKT is a key signaling pathway for FSGTC intervention in OA. Animal experiments have shown that FSGTC can alleviate cartilage damage and reduce inflammatory cell infiltration in OA rats, while having no effect on organs such as liver, heart, spleen, and kidney. The cell experiment results further confirmed that FSGTC increases chondrocyte viability and reduces the expression levels of COX2, PGE2 and PAI-1 by inhibiting the activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Conclusion: FSGTC can alleviate inflammation and hypercoagulability in OA, and this therapeutic effect is attributed to its inhibition of PI3K/AKT pathway activation, thereby reducing the release of pro-inflammatory and procoagulant factors in OA patients, and the above drugs do not affect the liver and kidney function of patients.
