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

backgroundThe clinical use of doxorubicin (DOX), an anthracycline antibiotic with broad-spectrum applications against various malignant tumors, is limited by doxorubicininduced cardiotoxicity (DIC). Eriodictyol (ERD) has shown cardioprotective effects, but the mechanism of its protective effect on DIC remains unknown.

aimsThis study aimed to explore the potential mechanisms by which ERD confers protection against DIC.

methodsERD and DIC targets were identified from the TCMSP, PharmMaper, SwissTargetPrediction, TargetNet, BATMAN, GeneCards, and PharmGKB databases. Differential gene expression data between DIC and normal tissues were extracted from the GEO database. A protein‒ protein interaction (PPI) network of the intersecting ERD-DIC targets was constructed using the STRING platform and visualized with Cytoscape 3.10.0 software. Gene Ontology (GO) functional enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis for ERD-DIC cross-targets were conducted. Validation included molecular docking with AutoDock Tools software and molecular dynamics simulations with Gromacs 2019.6 software.

resultsNetwork pharmacology analysis revealed 43 intersecting ERD-DIC targets, including 6 key targets. GO functional enrichment analysis indicated that the intersecting targets were enriched in 550 biological processes, 45 cell components, and 41 molecular functions. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis identified 114 enriched signaling pathways. Molecular docking revealed a strong binding affinity between ERD and 6 key targets, as well as multiple targets within the ROS pathway. Molecular dynamics simulations indicated that ERD has favorable binding with 3 crucial targets.

conclusionThe systematic network pharmacology analysis suggests that ERD may mitigate DIC through multiple targets and pathways, with the ROS pathway potentially playing a crucial role. These findings provide a reference for foundational research and clinical applications of ERD in treating DIC.
