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

introductionSarcopenia is a degenerative musculoskeletal disease affecting the elderly, significantly impairing patients' quality of life and challenging modern medicine. This study innovatively combines Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theories with modern medical research to explore the mechanisms by which Gushukang granules address sarcopenia.

methodsThe research integrated multi-dimensional research methods, including network pharmacology, metabolomics, and animal experiments, to comprehensively investigate the scientific mechanisms of Gushukang granules' intervention in sarcopenia.

resultsNetwork pharmacology analysis identified multiple potential targets related to muscle growth and repair. UPLC-Q-TOF MS technology tracked metabolic pathways, while animal experiments verified that Gushukang granules precisely regulate muscle metabolic balance by modulating key signaling pathways involved in protein synthesis and degradation. DISCUSSION: The findings demonstrate the potential of integrating traditional and modern medical approaches in addressing age-related muscle degradation, providing scientific validation for TCM treatment of sarcopenia.

conclusionThis study establishes a model for modernizing TCM research, offering solid scientific evidence for comprehensive intervention of chronic diseases in the elderly and highlighting the TCM concept of "preventing disease before its onset" in modern medical translation.
