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 explore the active compounds and the mechanism of Shenfu decoction (, SFD) against ischemic stroke (IS) through network pharmacology and animal experiments.

methodsSFD components were retrieved from the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) database. The Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD) and Therapeutic Target Database (TTD) database were used to retrieve the IS-related disease targets. The herb-compound-target network was built by Cytoscape 3.7.1 software. The core targets were obtained using protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. The core targets of SFD were further analyzed through Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). We then performed molecular docking between the hub proteins and key active compounds. Finally, we conducted animal experiments to verify the regulation of SFD on apoptosis following IS.

resultsThere were 221 corresponding targets and 25 components related to Chinese medicine throughout the compound-target network. The core targets of SFD in the treatment of IS was tumor protein P53 (Tp53), mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 (MAPK3), MAPK1, heat shock proteins 90AA1 and alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase1. There were 221 GO items in GO function enrichment analysis and 106 signaling pathways in KEGG, mainly including negative regulation of the apoptosis process, vascular endothelial growth factor signaling pathways, NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, etc. Among them, Tp53, MAPK3, and MAPK1 were docked with small molecule compounds. Through animal research, we confirmed the effect of SFD on apoptosis following stroke.

conclusionThis study demonstrates that SFD can treat IS through multiple targets and pathways, and provides new perspectives for exploring the core targets and mechanisms of SFD against IS.
