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: Traditional medicine is a common treatment option for endometrioid-related symptoms. In the past few decades, Guixiong Xiaoyi formula has been widely used as a traditional medicine for the treatment of endometriosis. Purpose: This study aimed to prepare compound Angelica Ligusticum wallichii granule (CALG) by modern technological methods and to study its pharmacodynamics and mechanisms of treating endometriosis. Methods: The ingredients of CALG were determined by UPLC-Q-TOF/MS. Target prediction of compounds and diseases was performed using databases, and the mechanisms of CALG were predicted by Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes and verified by molecular docking. Furthermore, a rat model of endometriosis was established to study the effects of CALG on endometriosis in vivo. Results: CALG with good specificity, durability, and stability was obtained following a detailed preparation process and quality control standard. Using network systems pharmacology, 109 chemical compositions and 104 core targets were identified for the treatment of endometriosis. The composition-target-channel-disease network topology analysis of the top 15 chemical compositions of CALG showed that the beneficial effect of CALG on endometriosis was attributed to phenolic compounds. In addition, CALG treatment reduced the volume of ectopic uterine lesions, promoted apoptosis, inhibited the secretion of inflammatory cytokines, and increased HIF-1 expression in rats with endometriosis. Conclusion: CALG induces apoptosis and inhibits inflammation and is a promising drug for the treatment of endometriosis.
