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

Keishikaryukotsuboreito (KKT) is a Kampo formula prescribed for neuropsychiatric symptoms, whereas Keishito (KT), despite including most of the constituent herbs, is not indicated for such conditions, suggesting distinct biological actions. We examined whether KT and KKT modulate nerve growth factor (NGF)-induced neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells. Cells were stimulated with NGF in the presence or absence of KT or KKT, and neurite extension was quantified. The involvement of NGF receptor signaling was assessed using the Trk inhibitor K-252a. KKT, but not KT, enhanced NGF-induced neurite outgrowth in a concentration-dependent manner without affecting basal morphology. Pharmacological analysis showed that KKT increased the maximal NGF-induced neurite response (E
