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

UDCA is a natural steroid in bear bile, which has important medicinal value. It is used to treat hepatobiliary diseases in clinic. Due to its unique molecular skeleton, UDCA has a wide range of biological activities, special target and low toxicity, and is considered to be a powerful structural mother nucleus, which has attracted more and more researchers' attention and become the focus of attention again. So far, UDCA derivatives with diverse structures have been designed and their biological activities have been extensively studied. In this paper, the pharmacological activities, biosynthesis and structural modification of UDCA were systematically discussed. It is believed that with the deepening of research, more UDCA derivatives with better medicinal properties will become drugs and better serve human health.
