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

Background: Xianglian Anchang Decoction (XLAC) shows significant promise in treating ulcerative colitis (UC) based on clinical experience. However, the specific mechanism of XLAC treatment for UC is still not well understood. Purpose: This study aims to explore the pharmacological mechanism of XLAC in treating UC through network pharmacology and experimental verification. Methods: In this study, DSS-induced UC mouse model was established to evaluate the effects of XLAC on body weight, Disease Activity Index scores, spleen index, and colon length. Pathological change and intestinal barrier integrity were analyzed via hematoxylin-eosin, periodic acid-Schiff staining, immunofluorescence, RT-qPCR, Western blot, and ELISA. Network pharmacology and bioinformatics analyses were employed to predict potential targets of XLAC, followed by molecular docking to validate the binding affinity between key components and TLR4. Results: XLAC significantly ameliorated weight loss, colon shortening, and splenomegaly in UC mice ( Conclusion: XLAC alleviates UC inflammation and intestinal barrier damage by targeting TLR4 to inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome activation and GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis. This study provides mechanistic insights into the clinical efficacy of XLAC for UC treatment.
