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

Semen Sojae Praeparatum (SSP), a traditional Chinese medicine derived from fermented black soybeans, has been historically used to treat febrile epidemics ("Wen Bing") with symptoms akin to influenza. This study integrated network pharmacology, molecular docking, in vitro pharmacodynamics and HPLC-based fingerprint and quality evaluation to elucidate SSP's anti-influenza mechanisms and optimize its fermentation process. Network pharmacology identified genistein and daidzein as key bioactive constituents targeting hub proteins TNF, AKT1, EGFR, SRC, and MMP9, which mediate pathological process in influenza. Molecular docking confirmed their strong binding affinities, particularly to lung-expressed AKT1 and SRC both of which are upstream activating kinases of the NF-κB p65 signaling pathway. Guided by these computational predictions, genistein and daidzein were evaluated in A549 cells using LPS and H
