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

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by excessive oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and persistent activation of pro-inflammatory signaling pathways. Danthron, a natural anthraquinone derivative from rhubarb, has been reported to possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, yet its regulatory mechanisms in intestinal inflammation remain unclear. In this study, we combined network pharmacology, transcriptomic profiling, cell-based assays, intestinal organoids, and a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis model to determine the protective effects of Danthron against oxidative injury. Integrated target prediction and RNA-seq analysis identified EGFR-PI3K-AKT and Nrf2-HO-1 as key signaling axes modulated by Danthron. In macrophages and intestinal epithelial cells, Danthron markedly suppressed LPS- or H
