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

Depression is a chronic and recurrent neuropsychiatric disorder with complex pathophysiology. Dihydromyricetin (DMY), a bioactive flavonoid compound isolated from Ampelopsis grossedentata (commonly known as rattan tea), has demonstrated multiple pharmacological properties including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, and antimicrobial activities. In the present study, a well-established rodent model of depression was generated through chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) paradigm combined with social isolation. Following eight weeks of DMY intervention, comprehensive behavioral assessments were conducted to validate both the successful establishment of the depression model and the therapeutic efficacy of DMY treatment. We employed network pharmacology approaches to systematically predict potential antidepressant targets of DMY. Further mechanistic investigations were performed to elucidate the underlying molecular pathways, providing novel perspectives for developing innovative antidepressant therapeutics.Integrating network pharmacology prediction with molecular biology validation, our findings revealed that DMY exerts significant antidepressant-like effects through suppression of the advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs)-RAGE signaling pathway, activation of the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (NRF2)-mediated antioxidant defense system, and upregulation of synaptic plasticity-related proteins including postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD95) and synaptophysin (SYP). These results suggest that DMY may represent a promising natural therapeutic candidate for depression treatment.
