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

Purpose: Shu-Feng-Jie-Biao formula (SFJBF) has been used to treat acute respiratory infections for a dozen years. This study aimed to explore its mechanisms and effects for the treatment of influenza. Methods: Network pharmacology was used to explore the underlying mechanism of SFJBF against influenza. The protective effects of SFJBF in vivo were evaluated by lung indexes, body weight loss and pathological changes in lungs. The anti-inflammatory effects in vivo were evaluated by flow cytometry and ELISA. RAW264.7 cells stimulated with imiquimod (R837) were used to determine the anti-inflammatory effects of SFJBF. Neutrophils isolated from bone marrow were activated by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) to validate the effects of the active components of SFJBF. Results: SFJBF protected body weight loss, decreased lung indexes, reduced total protein content in lungs and mitigated pathological changes in mice. SFJBF inhibited the expression of chemokines ( Conclusion: SFJBF ameliorated virus-induced lung injury by suppressing overactivated immune responses via NF-κB and ERK MAPK signaling pathways, thereby protecting mice from influenza virus infection. SFJBF could be considered a potent therapeutic agent for treating influenza.
