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

Lupus nephritis (LN) is a severe complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), characterized by immune system disorders and multiple organ damage. Current clinical treatment of LN requires a complex multi-drug combination, which is often associated with severe side effects and low patient compliance. The aim of this study was to design a self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) co-loading total glucosides of Paeonia (TGP) and dihydroartemisinin (DHA) to increase the solubility of the drug as well as achieve synergistic anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects for LN therapy. Network pharmacology, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations were employed to predict the core therapeutic targets and related signaling pathways. The SNEDDS co-loaded with TGP and DHA was optimized via central composite design response surface methodology (CCD-RSM). Its physicochemical properties, particle size and the polydispersity index (PDI) of the optimized formulation were characterized. In vivo therapeutic efficacy was evaluated in MRL/lpr mice by measuring disease-related indicators (urinary protein, serum ANA, and anti-ds-DNA) and inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β). Renal tissue pathology was also examined. All data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with
