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

Astragaloside IV (AS-IV) is the principal active component of Astragalus membranaceus (fisch.) Bge. var. mongholicus (Bge.) Hsiao. This study aims to explore action mechanism of AS-IV for relieving of cerebral ischemic injury in a rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion reperfusion (MCAO) via proteomics and network pharmacology. Pharmacodynamics experiments showed that AS-IV could effectively alleviate MACO-induced cerebral infarction, preserve the structural integrity of neurons, and promote the formation of Sol bodies. In addition, TMT quantitative proteomics revealed differential proteins (DEPs), e.g., DGKQ, PPT1, Gnai3, Gnal, PLA2G4A, and Ppp2ca. These DEPs might be closely related to AS-IV for the therapeutic effects on ischemic stroke. In combination with network pharmacology, the PLA2G4A was further identified as key target protein of AS-IV ascribed to its involvement in the regulation of inflammatory mediators in the TRP pathway. Ultimately, in vitro validation demonstrated that AS-IV offers neuroprotective effects by targeting the PLA2G4A, reducing the release of arachidonic acid (AA) and COX-2, and facilitating Ca
