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

Potentilla discolor herba is the dried whole herb of Potentilla discolor Bunge (P. discolor). This plant is a common species in China, with a wide distribution range and a long history of medicinal applications. This paper reviews the literature on the chemical composition, pharmacological effects, applications, pharmacokinetics, and safety of P. discolor over the past 60 years. All the information and studies concerning P. discolor were summarized from the library and digital databases, including Web of Science, PubMed, Baidu Scholar, and CNKI. A total of 120 articles about P. discolor have been collected. This paper provides a systematic review of the existing research on P. discolor, clarifying that its chemical composition is dominated by flavonoids and triterpenoids. And it reveals the multiple pharmacological activities of P. discolor, including its antidiabetic, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects, while summarizing clinical applications in treating diabetes, mastitis, and dysentery. This provides a theoretical foundation for subsequent investigations into its pharmacological mechanisms and clinical applications, thereby promoting its comprehensive development and utilization.
