Predicting the Mechanism of Tiannanxing-shengjiang Drug Pair in Treating Pain Using Network Pharmacology and Molecular Docking Technology.
Article in Current computer-aided drug design, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
objectiveThis study aimed to analyze the potential targets and mechanism of the Tiannanxing-shengjiang drug pair in pain treatment using network pharmacology and molecular docking technology.
methodsThe active components and target proteins of Tiannanxing-Shengjiang were obtained from the TCMSP database. The pain-related genes were acquired from the DisGeNET database. The common target genes between Tiannanxing-Shengjiang and pain were identified and subjected to the Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses on the DAVID website. AutoDockTools and molecular dynamics simulation analysis were used to assess the binding of the components with the target proteins.
resultsTen active components were screened out, such as stigmasterol, β-sitosterol, and dihydrocapsaicin. A total of 63 common targets between the drug and pain were identified. GO analysis showed the targets to be mainly associated with biological processes, such as inflammatory response and forward regulation of the EKR1 and EKR2 cascade. KEGG analysis revealed 53 enriched pathways, including pain-related calcium signaling, cholinergic synaptic signaling, and serotonergic pathway. Five compounds and 7 target proteins showed good binding affinities. These data suggest that Tiannanxing-shengjiang may alleviate pain through specific targets and signaling pathways.
conclusionThe active ingredients in Tiannanxing-shengjiang might alleviate pain by regulating genes, such as CNR1, ESR1, MAPK3, CYP3A4, JUN, and HDAC1 through the signaling pathways, including intracellular calcium ion conduction, cholinergic prominent signaling, and cancer signaling pathway.
