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

objectiveTo analyze the core functional component groups (CFCG) in

methodsPPI data were extracted from DisGeNET, Genecards, CMGRN and PTHGRN to construct a weighted network using Cytoscape 3.9.1. The data of the chemical components in YCHD were obtained from Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP), and the potential active components and targets were selected using PreADMET Web server and SwissTargetPrediction. A fusion model was constructed to obtain the functional effect space and evaluate the effective proteins to identify the CFCG followed by GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses for all the targets. In cultured human hepatic stellate cells (LX-2 cells), the cytotoxicity of different compounds in YCHD was tested using CCK-8 assay; the effects of these compounds on collagen α1 (Col1a1) mRNA expression and the pathways in 20 ng/mL TGF-β1-stimulated cells were analyzed using RT-qPCR and Western blotting.

resultsA total of 1005 pathogenic genes, 226 potential active components and 1529 potential targets in YCHD and 52 potential targets of CFCG were obtained. Benzyl acetate, vanillic acid, clorius, polydatin, lauric acid and ferulic acid were selected for CCK-8 verification, and they all showed minimal cytotoxicity below the concentration of 200 μmol/L. Clorius, polydatin, lauric acid and ferulic acid all effectively inhibited TGF-β1-induced LX-2 cell activation. At the concentration of 200 μmol/L, all these 4 components inhibited PI3K, p-PI3K, AKT, p-AKT, ERK, p-ERK, P38 MAPK and p-P38 MAPK expressions in TGF-β1-induced LX-2 cells.

conclusionThe therapeutic effect of YCHD on hepatic fibrosis is probably mediated by its core functional components including benzyl acetate, vanillic acid, clorius, polydatin, lauric acid and ferulic acid, which inhibit the PI3K-AKT and MAPK pathways in hepatic stellate cells.
