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

Dachengqi decoction (DCQD) is a traditional Chinese medicine formula consisting of three botanical drugs and one mineral drug. It has anti-inflammatory, gastrointestinal motility, and microcirculation improvement effects. A large number of studies have shown that DCQD has a significant impact on the treatment of acute pancreatitis (AP). However, owing to the multi-component and multi-target characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine, it is difficult for modern scientists to understand the role of DCQD in treating AP. Therefore, We sorted out the literature data related to DCQD published in databases such as Web of Science, PubMed, and CNKI, and summarized the main metabolites of DCQD, including anthraquinones, flavonoids, lignans and other metabolites. The pharmacokinetic characteristics of the main metabolites entering the blood circulation are preliminarily summarized. Combining chemical analysis and network analysis, some metabolites in DCQD, such as emodin, rhein, and luteolin, may play important roles in the treatment of AP, and this review also summarizes the efficacy mechanisms of these metabolites. In brief, we have summarized the treatment of AP with DCQD from the aspects of metabolites, preliminary pharmacokinetic analysis, and efficacy mechanisms, to facilitate further understanding of the material basis of DCQD.
