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

Objective: To explore the treatment effect and potential mechanism on gut microbiota, nutrition, and metabolism of Fufang Duzheng Tablet (DZGP) on rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: Collagen-induced arthritis rats' models were established and divided into three groups: model control group (FK), DZGP group (FZ, 0.45 g/kg/d), and methotrexate group (FM, 1.35 mg/kg), which were treated by gavage for 28 days. The physiopathologic changes of joints and body weight in each group were recorded; the morphology of synovial and ankle tissues was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining, and the level of serum TNF-α and IL-1β was tested by ELISA. UPLC/MS-MS and network pharmacological analysis were used to identify the serum components, and 16S rDNA sequencing analysis was applied to the intestinal contents of rats. Results: DZGP treatment significantly alleviated arthritis symptoms, pathological manifestations, toe thickness, and TNF-α and IL-1β levels in RA rats. We identified 105 metabolites and 18 components in the serum of DZGP-group rats. The main therapeutic targets of DZGP for anti-RA were TP53, epidermal growth factor receptor, and AKT1. Molecular docking showed that there was good binding efficiency between core components and main targets. 16S rDNA sequencing showed that DZGP treatment regulated the structure of the gut microbiota. Conclusion: DZGP showed a good anti-inflammatory effect on RA and played an important role in improving the structure of the gut microbiota in RA rats.
