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

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the leading causes of disability among young people, and the immune imbalance between T helper cell 17 (Th17) and regulatory T cells (Tregs) plays a crucial role in its pathogenesis. Currently, MS treatment relies significantly on immunosuppressive drugs or glucocorticoids, which often have side effects and limitations in efficacy. Sheng-Jiang powder (SJP), a traditional Chinese medicine formula, has demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects and may offer a novel therapeutic option for MS. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic efficacy and underlying mechanism of SJP in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein 35-55 (MOG35-55)-induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mice. Methods: The efficacy of SJP was assessed using the MOG35-55-induced EAE model. Disease severity was monitored based on the clinical symptoms, body weight, and pathological damage. Furthermore, Th17/Treg balance in the peripheral and central immune systems was assessed. Metabolomic analysis was performed to detect differential metabolites in serum, and the effects of fatty acids on the lipoxygenase (LOX) metabolic pathway were investigated. Results: SJP alleviated MOG35-55-induced EAE symptoms and histological damage, restored the peripheral Th17/Treg immune balance, decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, and increased anti-inflammatory cytokine levels. SJP intervention also influenced omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) metabolism and absorption in EAE mice, promoting an anti-inflammatory process associated with 12/15-lipoxygenase(12/15-LOX) upregulation and 5-lipoxygenase(5-LOX) downregulation. Conclusion: This study suggests that SJP is a viable treatment option for MS, and traditional Chinese medicine therapies for autoimmune diseases will continue to be developed.
