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

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a life-threatening respiratory disorder with high mortality. Forsythiae Fructus (FF), a traditional Chinese medicine widely used for respiratory diseases, shows therapeutic potential against ALI, yet its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood from a multi-omics perspective. This study integrated network pharmacology, transcriptomics, and proteomics to elucidate the protective mechanisms of FF against ALI. The chemical profile of FF was characterized by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS, and an LPS-induced ALI rat model was established for pharmacodynamic evaluation. The optimal dose group was selected for multi-omics analysis. A total of 95 compounds were identified, and integrated analysis revealed that 11 core components mediated anti-ALI effects by modulating 347 targets across 25 signaling pathways. Molecular docking and Western blot validation demonstrated that these targets are primarily associated with the PI3K-Akt/mTOR, MAPK/ERK/p-38, JAK-STAT, and PPARγ signaling pathways. This study provides a comprehensive multi-omics framework for understanding the mechanisms of FF against ALI.
