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

Liver fibrosis (LF) is a critical pathological stage in the progression from chronic liver disease to cirrhosis. While Abelmoschus manihot polysaccharides (AMP) demonstrate hepatoprotective potential, the underlying anti-fibrotic mechanisms remain incompletely understood. A carbon tetrachloride-induced LF mouse model was established followed by AMP intervention. Comprehensive assessments included ELISA measurement of serum biochemical indicators (ALT, AST, ALP, TBA, TBil), fibrosis markers (HA, PC III, LN, Hyp) and inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10). Liver tissue pathological changes were evaluated through haematoxylin-eosin (HE), Masson and Sirius Red staining. In vitro experiments utilised TGF-β1-stimulated JS-1 and LPS/IFN-γ-induced M1-type RAW264.7 macrophages. Experimental techniques encompassed MTT assay, immunofluorescence, qPCR, Western blot and flow cytometry to analyse cellular markers and signalling pathways. The study specifically investigated AMP's regulatory effects on macrophage polarisation and hepatic stellate cell activation, using the AMPK inhibitor (Compound C) to explore potential mechanistic pathways. AMP treatment effectively mitigated CCl
