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

Artemisia argyi (AA) has been proven to be effective in the adjuvant treatment of rheumatism (RA), but the mechanism of its action in RA is not clear. This study aims to clarify the molecular mechanism of AA as a potential therapy for RA by using network pharmacology. The TCM systems pharmacology (TCMSP) was used to screen the active components of AA, and identification of the potential target genes of active compounds and rheumatism was performed with PharmMapper and GeneCards, respectively. Construction of complex target networks and protein-protein interaction networks was based on the Cytoscape software. The biological functions and pathway analysis of targets and effective targets were analyzed using DAVID. Our study demonstrated that 105 target genes were associated with these active compounds and RA. ALB, AKT1, and MAPK1 were the first three hub genes, and the metabolic and signaling pathways related to these hub genes were remarkably abundant. Results showed that AA might play a role in RA by affecting multiple targets and multiple ways, reflecting that TCM was characterized by multicomponents and multitargets. AA has the potential to be a promising new candidate for the treatment of RA and has value for further research and development.
