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.
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
backgroundDental caries is a common oral disease that seriously affects the oral health and quality of life of patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effects of Galla chinensis (GC) in dental caries, and explore the underlying mechanisms based on non-coding RNAs.
methodsMouse and cell models were established by bacterial infection method and LPS induction. The growth of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) was detected by growth curves and acid production experiments. ELISA was used to evaluated inflammatory responses, and the effect of GC on the viability of human dental pulp stem cells (HDPSCs) was analyzed by CCK-8 assay. The regulation of MALAT1 and miR-181b expression by GC was detected by qRT-PCR, and the role of the MALAT1/miR-181b axis in the function of GC was examined using rescue experiments by assessing cell and bacterial viability, inflammation and S. mutans infection.
resultsGC significantly inhibited the growth and acid production of S. mutans, the levels of inflammatory factors and MALAT1 levels, and promoted miR-181b expression in both cell and animal models. Additionally, the proliferation of disease cell model was elevated by GC. miR-181b as a target of MALAT1, was inhibited by MALAT1 in cell model, and the MALAT1/miR-181b axis was found to mediate the regulatory effects of GC on S. mutans growth, infection-induced inflammatory, HDPSC viability and inflammation.
conclusionsGC inhibits S. mutans growth and inflammatory responses in cells and animal models through the MALAT1/miR-181b axis. This study highlights the potential clinical value of targeting the MALAT1/miR-181b axis with GC, which may offer a novel therapeutic strategy for the prevention and treatment of dental caries in clinical practice.
