Data Mining and Systematic Pharmacology to Reveal the Mechanisms of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Recurrent Respiratory Tract Infections' Treatment.
Article in Evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine : eCAM, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was widely used in the treatment of recurrent respiratory tract infections (RRTIs) in East Asia, but its mechanism was not clear because of its complex prescription rules. This research prospectively collected 100 prescriptions of RRTI children treated with TCM. The characteristics of TCM in prescriptions were described and analyzed, and the rules of prescriptions were analyzed by hierarchical clustering and association rules. The results showed that the principle of RRTI was to pay equal attention to cold and mild, and six new meaningful prescriptions were obtained. Among them, the new prescription composed of Astragali Radix (Huangqi), Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (Baizhu), Saposhnikoviae Radix (Fangfeng), Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Danggui), and Paeoniae Radix Rubra (Chishao) was an important method to treat RRTI. In order to explore the mechanism of the new prescription, the research obtained the action target of each herb of the core prescription on Integrative Pharmacology-based Research Platform of Traditional Chinese Medicine, TCMIP v2.0. The target genes were enriched by Metascape, and 93 Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways were obtained. According to the classification and statistics of KEGG type, it was found that the new prescription mainly intervened in the metabolic pathway dominated by amino acid metabolism. In addition, there were also many interventions in the nervous system-, endocrine system-, and digestive system-related pathways. This study summarized the prescription rule of TCM in the treatment of RRTI, analyzed the mechanism of supplementing deficiency, and provided a new idea for the treatment of RRTI.
