Network pharmacology and molecular docking approach to elucidate the mechanisms of Liuwei Dihuang pill in diabetic osteoporosis.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundDiabetic osteoporosis (DOP) is one of the chronic complications of diabetes mellitus, but without a standardized treatment plan till now. Liuwei Dihuang pill (LDP) has gradually exerted a remarkable effect on DOP in recent years; its specific mechanism is not clear yet.
methodsWe adopted network pharmacology approaches, including multi-database search, pharmacokinetic screening, network construction analysis, gene ontology enrichment analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis and molecular docking to elaborate the active components, signaling pathways and potential mechanisms of LDP in the treatment of DOP.
resultsTwenty-seven active ingredients and 55 related disease targets have been found through integrated network pharmacology. Functional enrichment analysis shows that five key active ingredients, including beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol, diosgenin, tetrahydroalstonine, and kadsurenone, may give full scope to insulin secretion estrogen-level raising and angiogenesis in biological process through the pivotal targets. In addition, the underlying effect of PI3K/AKT/FOXO and VEGF pathways is also suggested in the treatment.
conclusionBased on systematic network pharmacology methods, we predicted the basic pharmacological effects and potential mechanisms of LDP in the treatment of DOP, revealing that LDP may treat DOP through multiple targets and multiple signaling pathways, which provide evidence for the further study of pharmacological mechanism and broader clinical thinking.
