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

Background and Purpose: Methods: This study evaluated the anti-RA effects of KCR ethanol extract in vitro and in vivo using LPS-induced RA fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RAFLS) and inflammatory macrophages (RAW264.7), as well as an adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) rat model generated with inactivated Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Mechanisms were explored via network pharmacology, molecular biology, and gut microbiota analysis. Results: KCR extract suppressed TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 expression in LPS-stimulated RAFLS and RAW264.7 cells. It markedly inhibited paw swelling, synovial hyperplasia, and bone destruction in AIA rats, potentially by downregulating TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in paw tissues and modulating gut microbiota ( Conclusion: Collectively, KCR alleviates joint pathologies in AIA rats by suppressing TNF-α-driven inflammation and modulating gut microbiota, with
