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

Objective: Influenza A virus (IAV) is a major cause of respiratory tract infections. Shufeng Jiedu Capsule (SFJD) has a broad-spectrum antiviral effect, however, it is not clear whether SFJD acts by targeting the immune-inflammatory pathway. The aim of this study was to elucidate the therapeutic effect and the mechanism of antiviral action of SFJD in mice with influenza virus pneumonia. Methods: In this study, a mouse model of influenza virus pneumonia was used to evaluate the efficacy of SFJD in the treatment of influenza virus pneumonia. Next, the potential pathways of action by which SFJD exerts its antiviral effects were analysed in conjunction with network pharmacology and and untargeted metabolomics. Finally, Results: SFJD significantly reduced lung index, lowered viral load, attenuated lung tissue lesions, modulated inflammatory metabolism in lung tissue, reduced macrophage inflammatory infiltration and protected lung epithelial cells in mice. The results of the network pharmacological analysis and metabolomics analysis suggested that SFJD might act through the Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/myeloid differentiation primary response protein 88(MyD88)/ TNF receptor associated factor (TRAF6)/nuclear factor kappa-B(NF- Conclusion: SFJD could effectively attenuate lung injury induced by influenza virus infection and provide a scientific basis for the protection of respiratory mucosal epithelial cells. SFJD could effectively alleviate lung injury by regulating the TLR4/MyD88/TRAF6/NF-κB signaling pathway, inhibiting the levels of TNF-
