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

Alnus japonica, a deciduous tree native to East Asia, has garnered significant attention due to its ecological and pharmacological properties. As a member of the Betulaceae family, this species contributes to forest stability through nitrogen fixation and soil improvement. In addition to its environmental importance, Alnus japonica has been investigated for its potential therapeutic benefits, owing to its rich bioactive compounds, including diarylheptanoids, flavonoids, tannins, and phenolic acids. Recent studies report its anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, lipid-regulating, and other activities, supporting its relevance in traditional and modern medicine. These bioactive constituents modulate key cellular pathways, particularly those involved in oxidative stress and immune response. This review aims to present the first comprehensive assessment of Alnus japonica, offering an in-depth analysis of its chemical composition, bioactivities, and potential mechanisms of action.
