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

Background: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has the advantage of multi-component and multi-target, which becomes a hot spot in the treatment of numerous diseases. Shaoyao decoction (SYD) is a TCM prescription, which is mainly used to treat damp-heat dysentery clinically, with small side effects and low cost. However, its mechanism remains elusive. The purpose of this study is to explore the mechanism of SYD in the treatment of mice with ulcerative colitis (UC) induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) through metabolomics and network pharmacology, and verify through molecular docking and immunohistochemistry, so as to provide a scientific basis for the role of SYD in the treatment of UC. Materials and Methods: Firstly, DSS-induced UC models were established and then untargeted metabolomics analysis of feces, livers, serum and urine was performed to determine biomarkers and metabolic pathways closely related to the role of SYD. Besides, network pharmacology was applied to screen the active components and UC-related targets, which was verified by molecular docking. Finally, metabonomics and network pharmacology were combined to draw the metabolite-pathway-target network and verified by immunohistochemistry. Results: Metabolomics results showed that a total of 61 differential metabolites were discovered in SYD-treated UC with 3 main metabolic pathways containing glycerophospholipid metabolism, sphingolipid metabolism and biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids, as well as 8 core targets involving STAT3, IL1B, IL6, IL2, AKT1, IL4, ICAM1 and CCND1. Molecular docking demonstrated that the first five targets had strong affinity with quercetin, wogonin, kaempferol and baicalein. Combined with metabolomics and network pharmacology, sphingolipid signaling pathway, PI3K/AKT-mTOR signaling pathway and S1P3 pathway were identified as the main pathways. Conclusion: SYD can effectively ameliorate various symptoms and alleviate intestinal mucosal damage and metabolic disorder in DSS induced UC mice. Its effect is mainly related to sphingolipid metabolism, PI3K/AKT-mTOR signaling pathway and S1P3 pathway.
