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

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive cardiovascular disease characterized by increased pulmonary vascular resistance and structural remodeling of pulmonary vessels, leading to poor clinical outcomes and high mortality. pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) migration, apoptosis and abnormal proliferation are the main pathological features leading to the occurrence of PH. Increasing evidence suggests that inhibition of PASMCs pathological changes contributes to the improvement of PH. However, the current clinical treatment of PH is limited, and medicinal plants or secondary metabolites are gradually recognized as potential treatment options for PH. Therefore, this article focuses on inhibiting the abnormal pathological changes of PASMCs, and analyzes and summarizes the mechanism and process of medicinal plants or secondary metabolites in the treatment of PH by inhibiting the abnormal proliferation of PASMCs, so as to provide a direction for the development of medicinal plants or secondary metabolites for the treatment of PH.
