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

This study was performed to investigate the herb-drug interactions (HDIs) of citrus herbs (CHs), which was inspired by the "grapefruit (GF) juice effect". Based on network analysis, a total of 249 components in GF and 159 compounds in CHs exhibited great potential as active ingredients. Moreover, 360 GF-related genes, 422 CH-related genes, and 111 genes associated with drug transport and metabolism were collected, while 25 and 26 overlapping genes were identified. In compound-target networks, the degrees of naringenin, isopimpinellin, apigenin, sinensetin, and isoimperatorin were higher, and the results of protein-protein interaction indicated the hub role of UGT1A1 and CYP3A4. Conventional drugs such as erlotinib, nilotinib, tamoxifen, theophylline, venlafaxine, and verapamil were associated with GF and CHs via multiple drug transporters and drug-metabolizing enzymes. Remarkably, GF and CHs shared 48 potential active compounds, among which naringenin, tangeretin, nobiletin, and apigenin possessed more interactions with targets. Drug metabolism by cytochrome P450 stood out in the mutual mechanism of GF and CHs. Molecular docking was utilized to elevate the protein-ligand binding potential of naringenin, tangeretin, nobiletin, and apigenin with UGT1A1 and CYP3A4. Furthermore, in vitro experiments demonstrated their regulating effect. Overall, this approach provided predictions on the HDIs of CHs, and they were tentatively verified through molecular docking and cell tests. Moreover, there is a demand for clinical and experimental evidence to support the prediction.
