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

Several pathways are crucial in Huntington's disease (HD). Based on the concept of multitargets, network pharmacology-based analysis was employed to find out related proteins in disease network. The network target method aims to find out related mechanism of efficacy substances in rational design way. Traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions would be used for research and development against HD. Virtual screening was performed to obtain drug molecules with high binding capacity from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) database@Taiwan. Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models were conducted by MLR, SVM, CoMFA, and CoMSIA, constructed to predict the bioactivities of candidates. The compounds with high-dock score were further analyzed compared with control. Traditional Chinese medicine reported in the literature could be the training set provided for constructing novel formula by SVM model. We tried to find a novel formula that can bind well with these targets at the same time, which indicates our design could be highly related to the HD. Additionally, the candidates would validate by a long-term molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, 5 microseconds. Thus, we suggested the herbs
