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

aimTo investigate the effects of a Chinese medicine formula "Qingxuan Runmu Yin" (QRY) on ocular surface inflammation in a rat model of dry eye, and its mechanism

methodsSeventy-two Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into six groups (

resultsCompared to the control group, the model group showed significant reductions in SIT and increases in CFS scores, alongside structural disorganization of corneal/conjunctival tissues, decreased conjunctival goblet cell (CGC) numbers, and elevated expression of inflammatory markers [interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9)] and pathway proteins (TLR4, p-TAK1, p-p38MAPK;

conclusionQRY may alleviate ocular surface inflammation associated with dry eye by inhibiting the TLR4/TAK1/p38MAPK signaling pathway, highlighting its potential therapeutic efficacy for dry eye.
