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

Objective: This work studied the molecular mechanism of the Methods: The active ingredients of drugs were screened, and potential targets were predicted by the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology (TCMSP), TCMID, ETCM, and other databases. Migraine-related targets were obtained by harnessing the GeneCards, DrugBank, OMIM, TTD, and other databases. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed with STRING software by performing a Venn analysis with bioinformatics. Gene Ontology (GO) functional enrichment and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis were performed with the Metascape platform. The component-target-pathway (C-T-P) network was constructed with Cytoscape 3.7.2 software, and molecular docking was assessed with AutoDockVina software. Results: A total of 183 relevant targets and 39 active ingredients in migraine therapy were obtained from SAHP. The active ingredients and targets were screened according to topological parameters: wogonin, anomalin, imperatorin, prangenin, 2-linoleoylglycerol, and methylenetanshinquinone were identified as key active ingredients. PTGS2, PIK3CA, PIK3CB, PIK3CD, F2, and AR were identified as key targets. The molecular docking results demonstrated high binding activity between the key active ingredients and key targets. A total of 20 important signaling pathways, including neural signaling pathways, calcium signaling pathways, pathways in cancer, cAMP signaling pathways, and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways, were obtained through enrichment analysis. Conclusion: Migraine with SAHP is mainly treated through anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. The herb pair can be used for migraine using "multicomponent, multitarget, and multipathway" approaches.
