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

introductionShenlian formula (SL) has been widely used to treat various diseases, including type 2 diabetes mellitus and atherosclerosis (AS). Pathological states can significantly alter drug pharmacokinetics (PK) compared to normal physiology, primarily by modulating biological membrane permeability and metabolic enzyme activity, thereby affecting drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. However, the specific influence of AS on the PK profile of SL remains uncharacterized.

objectiveTo investigate the plasma PK of five components (Salvianolic acid A (SAA), Danshensu (DSS), Andrographolide (AND), Neoandrographolide (NAND), and Dehydrated andrographolide (DDAND),) which were the ingredients of SL, in physiological and AS rats administered SL intragastrically.

methodsThe AS SD rat model was induced with a high-fat diet, carotid balloon injury, and VD3 injections. A validated LC-MS/MS method quantified plasma concentrations to assess PK parameters. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The validation parameters were all in accordance with the current standards. Comparative PK analysis revealed significant intergroup disparities between the AS and normal groups. The value of C

conclusionWe established and validated a sensitive LC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous quantification of five bioactive components of SL in rat plasma. This method is applicable to both physiological and pathological states. Comparative pharmacokinetic analysis revealed significant differences in the systemic exposure of all five analytes between AS and normal rats. These findings provide critical PK evidence for optimizing SL dosage regimens in AS patients, underscoring the imperative to consider the disease' status when determining therapeutic strategies for traditional Chinese medicine formulations.
