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

backgroundChronic Kidney Disease (CKD) leads to structural and functional abnormalities of the kidneys and seriously jeopardizes human health. Shenyan Oral Liquid (SOLI), a Chinese medicinal preparation, has been reported to protect podocytes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

objectiveThe objective of this study is to investigate the mechanism of action of the Chinese medicinal preparation Senyan Oral Liquid (SOLI) in the treatment of CKD by protecting podocytes through network pharmacology technology and experimental validation.

methodsCompounds of SOLI and targets of CKD disease were collected and screened. The SOLI network of bioactive compounds targeting CKD and the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network were constructed using Cytoscape software and the STRING online database. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were performed using the R software Cluster Profiler package. Molecular docking was performed using Autodock software to verify the binding ability of bioactive compounds and target genes. Subsequently, the potential mechanism of SOLI on CKD predicted by network pharmacological analysis was experimentally studied and verified in an adriamycin-induced nephropathy rat model.

resultsA total of 81 targets of SOLI components acting on CKD were identified. The results of the PPI analysis clarified that five key target genes (TNF, AKT1, IL6, VEGFA, and TP53) play a critical role in the treatment of CKD by SOLI. The GO analysis and KEGG enrichment analysis indicated that SOLI acts through multiple pathways, including the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway against CKD. Molecular docking showed that the main compounds of SOLI and five key genes had strong binding affinity. In a rat model of adriamycin-induced nephropathy, SOLI significantly ameliorated disease symptoms and improved renal histopathology. Mechanistic studies showed that SOLI upregulated the expression level of Nephrin, inhibited the PI3K/AKT pathway in renal tissues, and ultimately suppressed the activation of autophagy-related proteins in CKD.

conclusionSOLI exerted a renoprotective effect by regulating the Nephrin-PI3K/AKT autophagy signaling pathway, and these findings provide new ideas for the development of SOLI-based therapeutic approaches for CKD.
