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

Objective: This study elucidates the potential therapeutic targets and molecular mechanisms of KTC in the treatment of PCOS. Materials and Methods: Using the Traditional Chinese Medicine System Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP), the active ingredients and potential targets of KTC were obtained. The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was used to find differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to PCOS. Search the CTD, DisGeNet, genecards, NCBI, OMIM, and PharmGKB databases for therapeutic targets related to PCOS. The intersection of potential targets, DEGs, and therapeutic targets was submitted to perform bioinformatics analysis by R language. Finally, the analyses' core targets and their corresponding active ingredients were molecularly docked. Results: 88 potential therapeutic targets of KTC for PCOS were discovered by intersecting the potential targets, DEGs, and therapeutic targets. According to bioinformatics analysis, the mechanisms of KTC treatment for PCOS could be linked to IL-17 signaling route, p53 signaling pathway, HIF-1 signaling pathway, etc. The minimal binding energies of the 5 core targets and their corresponding ingredients were all less than -6.5. Further research found that quercetin may replace KTC in the treatment of PCOS.
