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

backgroundThe therapeutic effects of a combination of Chinese medicines called Baihedihuang decoction (BD) have been clinically verified, although its molecular targets in breast cancer related anxiety remain unknown.

aimTo explore the molecular mechanisms of BD for breast cancer related anxiety treatment.

methodsWe used the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology database to screen the active ingredients and potential targets of BD, and constructed the "drug-ingredient-target" network map with the help of Cytoscape 3.8 software. Also, we used the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man, DrugBank, and Gencards databases to collect the disease targets of breast cancer related anxiety, and used the STRING platform to perform protein interaction analysis and construct the protein-protein interaction network. Metascape platform was used for Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis of key targets. Molecular docking technology was used to verify the drug component/target disease network.

resultsWe screened 16 active ingredients of BD for breast cancer related anxiety, with 113 target proteins. There are 931 disease targets of breast cancer related anxiety, and finally, 43 key targets and 305 Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways were generated. The main active ingredients of BD for breast cancer related anxiety are verbascoside, β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, catalpol,

conclusionThe therapeutic effect of BD for breast cancer related anxiety is multi-level, multi-target, and multi-pathway. The findings of this study provide ideas and basis for further research.
