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

Background: Deng's Yangxin Decoction (DYX) is a Chinese herbal formula used in clinical practice to treat patients with myocardial infarction (MI). However, its underlying mechanism remains unclear. Objective: This study aims to explore potential biomarkers and associated mechanisms of DYX for MI. Methods: Therapeutic targets for DYX were obtained based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform, Traditional Chinese Medicine Integrated Database, and UniProt databases. Key targets were screened using topological analysis. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between MI patients and controls were obtained using open-source datasets. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was utilized to screen MI-related genes in the expression array. Hub biomarkers were determined by intersecting DEGs, protein-protein interaction networks, and WGCNA results. Molecular docking validated interactions between DYX components and hub biomarkers. Immune infiltration was assessed via CIBERSORT. Single-cell RNA sequencing analyzed hub biomarker expression in coronary plaques. Results: FOS was a core biomarker for DYX for MI. Molecular docking confirmed strong binding affinities between quercetin/baicalein and FOS. In addition, high expression of FOS was associated with immune infiltration of neutrophils, activated mast cells, activated dendritic cells, monocytes, and NK cells. FOS was also found to be expressed at high levels in mast and dendritic cells, monocytes, and some T cells in coronary plaques. Conclusion: FOS is a target of DYX for the treatment of MI, and the mechanism of action may be related to the modulation of immune infiltration.
