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: Current treatments for cirrhosis-a progressive disease marked by fibrosis and inflammation-are limited and non-specific. Jinqiancao granules (JQC), a traditional Chinese medicine used for hepatobiliary diseases, could provide a promising new therapeutic approach. Purpose: The objective of this study is to explore the therapeutic effects and potential molecular mechanisms of JQC on CCl Methods: To investigate the therapeutic effects of JQC and its impact on the liver-gut axis, a mouse model of liver cirrhosis was established by intraperitoneal injection of carbon tetrachloride (CCl Results: JQC ameliorated CCl Conclusion: This study demonstrates that JQC mitigates liver cirrhosis in mice by modulating the gut-liver axis, enhancing the intestinal barrier, and inhibiting the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway. These results propose JQC as a promising therapeutic candidate, warranting further clinical translation.
