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: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that prevails mainly in western countries. Due to the unknown etiology of UC, the purpose of treatments has predominantly comprised symptomatic and pain relief. With extensive research focusing on the pathogenesis of UC, various novel treatments have emerged, although their efficiency has remained unsatisfactory. Methods: In this study, network pharmacology and molecular docking analyses were applied to explore the potential mechanism of HMM treating UC. Active ingredients of HMM and target genes were acquired from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP). UC-related genes were obtained from three disease databases. Common genes were selected from these two gene sets, and a compound-genes network was drawn by Cytoscape. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) analyses were performed to identify the essential pathways and proteins in UC. Results: A total of 121 genes were found related to UC and targeted by HMM. The GO and KEGG analyses showed that these genes were associated with inflammation and immune signaling pathways and inflammation-related biological processes (BP) such as the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and PI3K-AKT signaling pathways. Four active ingredients (quercetin, kaempferol, formononetin, and isorhamnetin) and five genes ( Conclusions: This study revealed that HMM treats UC through four active ingredients (quercetin, kaempferol, formononetin, and isorhamnetin) targeting five hub genes (
