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: Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is a precancerous gastric lesion characterized by persistent inflammatory injury, glandular atrophy, and impairment of gastric mucosal barrier-associated integrity. Huangjin Shuangshen Decoction (HJSS) has shown therapeutic potential in gastritis-related disorders, but its effects on CAG and the underlying mechanism remain unclear. This study investigated whether HJSS alleviates CAG by modulating inflammation-associated barrier dysfunction. Methods: CAG was induced in mice by MNNG combined with ranitidine and irregular feeding, followed by treatment with different doses of HJSS, with folic acid as a positive control. Histopathology, gastric function indices, inflammatory mediators, apoptosis-related markers, and barrier-associated molecules were assessed Results: HJSS alleviated gastric mucosal atrophy and histopathological injury, improved gastric functional impairment, reduced inflammatory burden, and attenuated apoptosis-associated epithelial injury in experimental CAG. HJSS also promoted the recovery of gastric mucosal barrier-associated molecules, including CFTR, ZO-1, MUC5AC, Occludin, and Claudin-1. Integrated transcriptomic and network pharmacology analyses highlighted an inflammation-barrier framework involving TNF-related signaling and CFTR-associated regulation. Conclusion: HJSS alleviates MNNG-induced CAG by attenuating inflammatory injury and promoting the recovery of gastric mucosal barrier-associated molecular features. Its protective effects are associated with suppression of TNF/NF-κB signaling and involvement of CFTR-associated regulation, supporting an inflammation-barrier mechanism underlying the action of HJSS in CAG.
