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

Five dammarane-type saponins (1-5) were isolated from the aerial parts of Gynostemma pentaphyllum, including two new compounds, 2α,3β,12β,19,20(S)-pentahydroxydammar-24-ene 3-O-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranoside]-20-O-[β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-D-glucopyranoside] (1) and 12-oxo-2α,3β,20(S)-trihydroxydammar-24-ene 3-O-(β-D-glucopyranoside)-20-O-[β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-D-glucopyranoside] (2). The structures were elucidated through various spectroscopic analyses (IR, HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR). Compounds 1-3 and 5 exhibited osteogenic activity by stimulating alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, collagen synthesis, and calcium mineralization in mouse osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. Among these, compound 2 increased ALP activity by 1.30 ± 0.07- and 1.59 ± 0.16-fold at 2 and 1 µg/mL, respectively, whereas compound 1 increased collagen synthesis and calcium mineralization by 1.14 ± 0.05- and 1.24 ± 0.06-fold at 1 µg/mL, and compound 3 increased these parameters by 1.25 ± 0.07- and 1.14 ± 0.03-fold at 2 µg/mL, respectively.
