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

objectiveInflammation is a fundamental biological response that serves to protect the body from physical damage and harmful stimuli. However, chronic inflammation is implicated in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory diseases. Stachys pilifera Benth. has been traditionally used for its anti-inflammatory properties, yet its precise mechanisms of action remain to be fully elucidated. This study aims to investigate the effects of S. pilifera Benth. extract and its fractions on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory responses in RAW264.7 macrophage cells. METHODOLOGY: The anti-inflammatory potential of the methanolic extract and its ethyl acetate, butanol, and water fractions were evaluated by assessing their inhibitory effects on nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE

resultsThe methanolic extract, ethyl acetate fraction, and butanol fraction significantly reduced the production of NO and PGE

conclusionBy downregulating NF-κB activity, S. pilifera Benth. effectively modulates the expression of key proinflammatory mediators, including inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and COX-2, ultimately leading to reduced NO and PGE
