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 AND

objectivesPremature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) is a disease suffered by women under the age of 40 when ovarian function has declined, seriously affecting both the physical and mental health of women. Guiluoshi Anzang decoction (GLSAZD) has been used for a long time and has a unique therapeutic effect on improving ovarian function. This study aims to investigate the mechanism of GLSAZD in treating POI through network pharmacology, molecular docking, and experimental verification.

methodsIn this study, the active ingredients of Guiluoshi Anzang Decoction and the targets of POI were obtained from TCMSP, BATMANN-TCM, Uniprot, GeneCards, and other databases, and network pharmacology analysis was performed. Molecular docking was conducted to validate the affinity of the main active ingredient of GLSAZD to key POI targets. A POI SD rat model was established, and HE staining, ELISA, Real-time PCR, and Western blot experiments were performed to verify the predicted core targets and the therapeutic effects.

results10 core targets and the top 5 ingredients were screened out. Molecular docking showed core targets AKT1, CASP3, TNF, TP53, and IL6 had stable binding with the core 5 ingredients quercetin, kaempferol, beta-sitosterol, luteolin, and Stigmasterol. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis demonstrated the mechanism involved in the positive regulation of gene expression, PI3K-AKT signaling pathway, and apoptosis signaling pathways. Animal experiments indicated GLSAZD could up-regulate the protein expression of p-PI3K and p-AKT1 and the mRNA expression of STAT3 and VEGF, down-regulate TP53 and Cleaved Caspase-3 protein expression in rat`s ovarian tissues and serum TNF-α and IL-6 protein levels, activate PI3K-AKT signaling pathway and inhibit the apoptosis signaling pathway.

conclusionGLSAZD treats POI through multi-component, multi-target, and multi-pathway approaches. This study provided evidence for its clinical application in treating POI and shed light on the study of traditional medicine of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in China.
