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

Introduction: Anemoside B4 (AB4), a major bioactive saponin isolated from the roots of Methods: To explore the therapeutic mechanism of AB4 in SALI, an integrated approach was employed, combining network pharmacology, molecular dynamics simulation, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assays, Results: AB4 ameliorated CLP-induced lung injury in mice, as evidenced by reduced pathological damage, lower injury scores, and a decreased lung wet-to-dry weight ratio. Conclusion: AB4 directly targets RAGE to inhibit the AGE/RAGE-Nrf2 axis, thereby suppressing both ferroptosis and inflammation in SALI. This previously unreported mechanism establishes AB4 as a novel multifaceted therapeutic candidate for SALI.
