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

This study explored the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of Gentiana szechenyii Kanitz. (GS), a Tibetan medicinal herb, by combining UPLC-MS/MS, network pharmacology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Using the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 cell inflammation model, the anti-inflammatory effect of GS was confirmed by detecting the release amount of nitric oxide (NO) and the levels of inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). UPLC-MS/MS identified 40 constituents, whereas network analysis predicted 5 core compounds (isovitexin 4',7-diglucoside, loganin, isoorientin-2″-O-glucoside, gentiopicroside, sweroside), 5 key targets (TNF, IL-6, GAPDH, epidermal growth factor receptor [EGFR], HSP90AA1), and three critical pathways (PI3K-Akt, hypoxia inducible factor-1 [HIF-1], IL-17). Molecular docking showed strong binding between core compounds and targets; the binding energies were all lower than -5 kcal mol
