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

backgroundCoronary heart disease is characterized by the formation of arterial plaque. If not taken seriously, it will cause serious consequences such as myocardial infarction and heart failure. Zhishi Xiebai Guizhi Decoction first appeared in "Synopsis of Prescriptions of the Golden Chamber" and is a representative prescription for the treatment of coronary heart disease. This study aims to explain the mechanism of Zhishi Xiebai Guizhi Decoction in the treatment of coronary heart disease through network pharmacology and clinical trials.

methodsWe first identified the core compounds of Zhishi Xiebai Guizhi Decoction and their potential targets through TCMSP. Then, We analyzed the molecular targets of Zhishi Xiebai Guizhi Decoction in coronary heart disease with OMIM and GeneCards databases. After the common targets were screened out, we manage to figure out the pathways of these target genes through STRING. Finally, we verify the treatment results in clinical trials.

resultsThrough network pharmacology analysis, we discovered that several core compounds of Zhishi Xiebai Guizhi Decoction have anti-inflammatory effects and are of great significance to treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The mechanism may be closely related to PPAR

conclusionsZhishi Xiebai Guizhi Decoction may play a role in treating coronary heart disease by activating PPAR
