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

In our previous study, the combination of Korean Sajabal mugwort extract (SME) and green tea extract (GTE) at a 9:1 ratio showed synergistic effects on blood flow. In this study, we evaluated the antioxidant activity of the mixture of SME and GTE, and the significance of synergy was confirmed by combination index (CI) value. SME and GTE mixture exhibited synergistic antioxidant activity, compared to individual treatments, and reduced H₂O₂-induced intracellular ROS in a dose-dependent manner. In isoproterenol (ISO)-treated animal model, oral administration of SME and GTE mixtures mitigated ISO-induced oxidative stress by enhancing antioxidant enzyme activities such as glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione reductase (GR) and activating Nrf2/Keap1 signaling. The mixture of the major components, eupatilin and jaceosidin in SME and EGCG in GTE, exerted similar synergistic antioxidant activity in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, the SME and GTE mixture possesses a significant synergistic effect on reducing oxidative stress. Graphical abstract:
