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

In silico profiling is used in identification of active compounds and guide rational use of traditional medicines. Previous studies on Ethiopian indigenous aloes focused on documentation of phytochemical compositions and traditional uses. In this study, ADMET and drug-likeness properties of phytochemicals from Ethiopian indigenous aloes were evaluated, and pharmacophore-based profiling was done using Discovery Studio to predict therapeutic targets. The targets were examined using KEGG pathway, gene ontology and network analysis. Using random-walk with restart algorithm, network propagation was performed in CODA network to find diseases associated with the targets. As a result, 82 human targets were predicted and found to be involved in several molecular functions and biological processes. The targets also were linked to various cancers and diseases of immune system, metabolism, neurological system, musculoskeletal system, digestive system, hematologic, infectious, mouth and dental, and congenital disorder of metabolism. 207 KEGG pathways were enriched with the targets, and the main pathways were metabolism of steroid hormone biosynthesis, lipid and atherosclerosis, chemical carcinogenesis, and pathways in cancer. In conclusion, in silico target fishing and network analysis revealed therapeutic activities of the phytochemicals, demonstrating that Ethiopian indigenous aloes exhibit polypharmacology effects on numerous genes and signaling pathways linked to many diseases.
