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

Fuganlin oral liquid (FOL) has been clinically employed for the treatment of pediatric qi deficiency colds, manifesting symptoms such as fever, cough, asthma, and sore throat. However, the chemical composition and bioactive components of FOL have not been clearly elucidated. In this study, a comprehensive qualitative analysis of FOL was conducted utilizing ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry in conjunction with network pharmacology. A total of 124 chemical components were tentatively characterized, comprising flavonoids, phenolic acids, saponins, coumarins, and others. Among these, 43 compounds were unequivocally identified by comparison with authentic reference standards. Furthermore, network pharmacology analysis revealed that the ingredients of FOL exhibited anti-inflammatory properties and demonstrated potential efficacy in relieving cough and asthma associated with respiratory tract infections. Collectively, this study provides the first comprehensive characterization of the chemical composition in FOL and explores the potential pharmacological mechanisms of its bioactive constituents, thereby providing scientific support for quality control standards and clinical applications.
