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

Renal fibrosis represents a common pathological pathway in various chronic kidney diseases (CKD). Jiawei Fangji Huangqi decoction (JFH) is a traditional Chinese herbal formula and has been clinically prescribed in China. The aim of this study was to determine the role of JFH in renal fibrosis using a unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) mouse model and explore its underlying mechanisms. In UUO mice, JFH was found to inhibit the accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, as demonstrated by Masson staining, and reduce the expression of fibrotic markers and TGF-β1 in obstructed kidneys, as confirmed by Western blotting analysis. JFH was closely correlated with the amelioration of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) as shown by Western blotting analysis. Mechanistic investigations
