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

backgroundTo clarify the mechanism of notoginsenoside R1 in the treatment of septic acute lung injury (ALI) based on network pharmacological analysis, and to verify it in the model of septic ALI in rats.

methodsBased on database searching, the related targets of notoginsenoside R1 and ALI were identified, and the component-disease-target network was constructed. The core targets were screened by protein-protein interaction (PPI), and the functional enrichment of Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) was analyzed. The rat model of septic ALI was further established to investigate the pharmacological effects of notoginsenoside R1.

resultsNotoginsenoside R1 possibly affected ALI through 150 targets, of which 36 were core targets. GO semantic similarity analysis showed that notoginsenoside R1 might play a role in regulating interleukin 17 (IL-17) signal pathway, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signal pathway and other key links by regulating MAPK1, MAPK3, IL-1β and other targets. The results of pharmacological experiments showed that notoginsenoside R1 could significantly reduce the wet:dry ratio of the lung in an animal model of ALI, improve the pathological injury of the lung, and reduce the content of IL-1β in serum and in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of experimental animals.

conclusionsNotoginsenoside R1 can inhibit pulmonary edema, reduce inflammation, and improve lung lesions through multiple targets and pathways to achieve the pharmacological effects in the treatment of septic ALI.
