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

Paeoniae Radix Alba Carbonisata (PRAC), carbonized decoction pieces of the traditional Chinese medicine Paeoniae Radix Alba, has been used in clinical practice for hepatoprotective purposes. Hepatic amyloidosis (HA), a severe complication of systemic AA amyloidosis, is characterized by the deposition of fibrillar amyloid proteins leading to progressive hepatic dysfunction. However, its role in HA remains unclear. Amyloid lysozyme (LYSO-6) was used to induce the NCTC1469 cell injury model and the HA mouse model. The effects of PRAC extract (PRAC-E) on liver injury were then evaluated using biochemical assays, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Congo red (CR) staining, Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining, and immunohistochemical staining. Liver transcriptomics combined with Western blotting was used to analyze the expression levels of key proteins in the cGMP/PKG/ATP2A1 signaling axis. UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS combined with network pharmacology was used to characterize the chemical components of PRAC-E and identify its core active constituents against HA. Quantitative analysis of core components was performed by UHPLC-QTRAP-MS/MS. Molecular docking predicted the binding stability of core components and key targets. The results showed that PRAC-E significantly alleviated HA. Collectively, PRAC-E restored calcium pump activity, corrected calcium homeostasis imbalance, reduced inflammatory factor levels, regulated Phosphodiesterase 5A (PDE5A), and activated the cGMP/PKG/ATP2A1 signaling axis. The main components of PRAC-E were phenolic acids, terpenoids, and flavonoids. Among these, six core components (SCCs) related to HA were Gallate (16.96 mg/g), Paeoniflorin (14.27 mg/g), Albiflorin (7.20 mg/g), Benzoyl paeoniflorin (5.33 mg/g), Methyl gallate (0.78 mg/g), and Catechin (0.09 mg/g). Molecular docking analysis demonstrated that SCCs formed stable complexes (∆
