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

Atherosclerosis (AS)-related diseases remain among the leading causes of death worldwide. Modified Xiaoyaosan (also called Tiaogan-Liqi prescription, TGLQ), a traditional Chinese medical formulation, has been widely applied in the treatment of AS-related diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the underlying pharmacological mechanisms of TGLQ in acting on AS. A total of 548 chemical compounds contained in TGLQ, and 969 putative targets, were collected from the Computation Platform for Integrative Pharmacology of Traditional Chinese Medicine, while 1005 therapeutic targets for the treatment of AS were obtained from the DisGeNET, TTD and CTD databases. Moreover, the 63 key targets were screened by the intersection of the targets above, and by network topological analysis. Further functional enrichment analysis showed that the key targets were significantly associated with regulation of the immune system and inflammation, improvement of lipid and glucose metabolism, regulation of the neuroendocrine system and anti-thrombosis effect.
