Mechanism underlying efficacy of Shugan Sanjie decoction on plasma cell mastitis, based on network pharmacology and experimental verification.
Article in Journal of traditional Chinese medicine = Chung i tsa chih ying wen pan, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveTo investigate the mechanism underpinning the effeicay of Shugan Sanjie decoction (, SGSJD) on plasma cell mastitis (PCM) based on network pharmacology, and to verify it through .
methodsTraditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform and Bioinformatics Analysis Tool for Molecular mechanism of Traditional Chinese Medicine were used to screen effective compounds and drug targets; Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man and GeneCards were used to search for PCM targets. The potential targets of SGSJD in treating PCM were obtained after the drug targets and disease targets were crossed. Cytoscape software was used to establish and analyze the network of Chinese medicines-active compounds-targets-disease; STRING database platform was used to analyze Protein Protein Interaction network; Bioconductor software package was used to perform Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment for potential targets. Western blot analysis was used to verify the janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) pathway .
results(a) 47 potential pharmacological components of SGSJD treatment of PCM were screened including quercetin, luteolin, kaempferol and others; 20 common targets were obtained, including interleukin-6 (IL-6), epidermal growth factor receptor, estrogen receptor 1, nitric oxide synthase 3 and others; a number of signal pathways were available, of which advanced glycation end product/ receptor for advanced glycation end products signaling pathway in diabetic complications, hypoxia-inducible factor 1 signaling pathway and janus tyrosine kinase-signal transducer and transcription activator (JAK-STAT) signaling pathway were the main signal pathways related to PCM. (b) Compared with the Blank group, the expressions of p-JAK2/JAK2, p-STAT3/STAT3 and IL-6 protein in the Model group were significantly increased ( < 0.01); Compared with the Model group, the expression of p-JAK2/JAK2, p-STAT3/STAT3, and IL-6 protein in the treatment group were significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner ( < 0.05). Compared with the Model group, the dexamethasone significantly reduced the expression of p-JAK2/JAK2, p-STAT3/STAT3, and IL-6 ( < 0.01).
conclusionsThe SGSJD may regulate the JAK-STAT signaling pathway to achieve the effect of treating PCM by reducing the expression of p-JAK2/JAK2, p-STAT3/STAT3 and IL-6 in a dose-dependent manner.
