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

objectiveTo explore the mechanism of modified Huanglian Maidong decoction (Maidong-Sanqi-Huanglian Compounds, MSHCs) intervention in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

methodThis study used PubChem and SciFinder to collect the molecular structure of MSHCs, used PharmMapper to predict the potential targets of MSHC, and combined them with the T2DM gene to construct MSHC-T2DM protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. The plugin MCODE in Cytoscape 3.7.1 was then used to perform cluster analysis on the MSHC-T2DM PPI network. The genes and targets were input into DAVID for Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway enrichment analysis. Finally, animal experiments were performed to verify the therapeutic effect of MSHC on T2DM.

resultsSeveral T2DM-related targets, clusters, signaling pathways, and biological processes are found. The experimental results showed that compared with the blank group, the content of fasting blood glucose (FBG) in the model group was higher (

conclusionMSHC may achieve therapeutic effects through regulating the T2DM-related targets, biological processes, and pathways, such as insulin resistance, energy metabolism, oxidative stress, and inflammation, found in this research.
