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

Bletilla striata is highly regarded in traditional Chinese medicine and has also gained widespread attention as a valuable medicinal plant resource. However, the molecular composition and bioactive potential of its polysaccharides present a significant knowledge gap. Herein, a specific glucomannan fraction, designated as BSP60, was purified from Bletilla striata tubers and subsequently subjected to structural, rheological, and biological evaluations. Comprehensive characterization via methylation-GC-MS, monosaccharide composition analysis, and 1D and 2D NMR techniques demonstrated that BSP60 possesses a β-(1 → 4)-linked backbone featuring alternating mannosyl and glucosyl units, with the mannose moieties exhibiting partial O-acetylation at their C-2 or C-3 positions (with an acetylation rate of 23.54%). Rheological studies showed that BSP60 aqueous solutions exhibit shear-thinning behavior and form an elastic-dominated viscoelastic network, with higher viscosity and storage modulus than dextran of comparable molecular weight, indicating enhanced intermolecular interactions. Biological assays revealed that the BSP60 effectively decreased the level of NO, IL-6, and TNF-α in LPS-triggered macrophages (RAW264.7). Furthermore, the scavenge ability of BSP60 to superoxide anion (O
