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

Purpose: Cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum II, CDDP), a widely used chemotherapeutic agent, is clinically limited by nephrotoxicity. Rhein, an anthraquinone from Methods: Network pharmacology identified active components and target genes of Results: Network pharmacology revealed 12 bioactive components and 420 potential targets of Conclusion: Rhein protects against CDDP-induced AKI by inhibiting oxidative stress and inflammation through targeting the NOX4-NFκB-COX2/PGFS pathway, without compromising CDDP's antitumor activity. These findings highlight Rhein as a promising adjunctive therapy for CDDP-associated nephrotoxicity.
