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

Asthma represents a significant global health challenge, imposing a substantial burden on society worldwide. Over the past decades, the development of asthma medications has significantly reduced asthma-related mortality. However, current pharmacological treatment regimens have not yet demonstrated the capacity to induce a durable remission of asthma. Transient receptor potential channels, specifically vanilloid receptor 1 (TRPV1) and ankyrin 1 (TRPA1), are polymodal sensory channels extensively distributed in the lungs and represent promising therapeutic targets for asthma. Increasing evidence suggests that Chinese herbal medicines (CHM) exert beneficial effects in asthma treatment by modulating TRPV1/TRPA1. Therefore, this study systematically analyzed 134 articles covering the pathogenesis of asthma, current treatment strategies, the role of TRPV1/TRPA1 in asthma, and the modulation of TRPV1/TRPA1 by Chinese herbal medicines in asthma. In summary, our review comprehensively elaborates on how CHM modulates TRPV1/TRPA1 channels to alleviate pulmonary inflammation. These findings provide viable options for asthma drug discovery and establish the foundation for developing effective CHM-based therapeutics.
