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: Artesunate (AS) has great pharmacokinetic and clinical value. However, a comprehensive and up-to-date study exclusively focusing on AS direct binding proteins has not yet been conducted. Methods: We performed a systematic, data-driven mapping of AS-binding protein via HuProt™ 20K human proteome microarray. To characterize the biological features of AS-binding proteins through a series of bioinformatic analyses. Results: Firstly, AS targeted ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis, mineral absorption, Salmonella infection and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis. Among them, ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis has highest confidence scores, chaperone complex and ubiquitin-like protein conjugating enzyme activity were enriched in this set. Secondly, we showed that the bioactivity of AS encompasses a multifaceted range of health-promoting effects. Collectively, this study provided a valuable resource for AS-binding proteins. Furthermore, protein biological function is determined by their three-dimensional structure, when a protein fails to fold into its native structure, the proteins undergo mislocalisation/abnormal accumulation/degradation, leading to conformational diseases (CDs). Conclusion: Considering that AS could target ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) and encompass a multifaceted range of health-promoting effects, a comprehensive understanding of the regulatory effects of AS on the UPS and its intrinsic mechanisms will enhance its ability to serve as a protective agent to fight against CDs.
