Investigation of anti-osteoporosis mechanisms of Rehmanniae Radix Preparata based on network pharmacology and experimental verification.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundRehmanniae Radix Preparata (RRP) can effectively improve the symptoms of osteoporosis, but its molecular mechanism for treating osteoporosis is still unclear. The objective of this study is to investigate the anti-osteoporosis mechanisms of RRP through network pharmacology.
methodsThe overlapping targets of RRP and osteoporosis were screened out using online platforms. A visual network diagram of PPI was constructed and analyzed by Cytoscape 3.7.2 software. Molecular docking was used to evaluate the binding activity of ligands and receptors, and some key genes were verified through pharmacological experiments.
resultsAccording to topological analysis results, AKT1, MAPK1, ESR1, and SRC are critical genes for RRP to treat osteoporosis, and they have high binding activity with stigmasterol and sitosterol. The main signal pathways of RRP in the treatment of osteoporosis, including the estrogen signaling pathway, HIF-1 signal pathway, MAPK signal pathway, PI3K-Akt signal pathway. Results of animal experiments showed that RRP could significantly increase the expression levels of Akt1, MAPK1, ESR1, and SRC1 mRNA in bone tissue to increase bone density.
conclusionThis study explained the coordination between multiple components and multiple targets of RRP in the treatment of osteoporosis and provided new ideas for its clinical application and experimental research.
