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

introductionShen Qi Gui oral liquid (SQG) may be beneficial for chemotherapyinduced myelosuppression (CIM). However, the underlying mechanism of CIM treated with SQG is still lacking.

methodsA total of 27 blood samples from cancer patients were selected to perform RNA-seq to obtain the Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs). Then, the active components and target genes of SQG were acquired. Next, the drug targets and DEGs were intersected to obtain the intersection genes, followed by functional enrichment analysis and construction of a drug-compoundgene- disease network. Subsequently, core genes were selected. Then, immune cell infiltration, molecular docking, pharmacokinetic and toxicity prediction, and RT-qPCR were performed.

resultsA total of 1,341 DEGs, 51 active compounds, and 264 target genes were identified. Then, 30 intersection genes were acquired. Next, a drug-compound-gene-disease network was constructed, and 7 core genes were acquired. Immune infiltration analysis exhibited that only T follicular helper cells were significantly increased in the CIM group, which was significantly negatively correlated with MAPK1, MAPK14, MCL1, PTEN, and PTGS2. The luteolin, quercetin, and beta-sitosterol showed better affinity with core genes. Luteolin and quercetin, which satisfied Lipinski's rule of five, were likely absorbed by the gastrointestinal system. Toxicity predictions showed that neither luteolin nor quercetin exhibited carcinogenicity or hepatotoxicity.

conclusionPTEN, PTGS2, CCL2, FOS, MCL1, MAPK1, and MAPK14 were identified as the core genes in CIM patients, which were involved in the MAPK and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways. Luteolin and quercetin may be the promising drugs against CIM.
