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

backgroundNarenmandula is a classic ancient remedy in Inner Mongolia, historically used for gastrointestinal diseases. In recent decades, Inner Mongolia Medical University found that it has a significant effect in promoting fracture healing and increasing bone density, and has been used to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP), but its mechanism is unclear.

objectiveIdentify the mechanism of action of Narenmandula for PMOP treatment.

methodsNetwork pharmacology, molecular docking and ovarian departing rat models were used to verify the relevant mechanism of Narenmandula in the treatment of PMOP.

resultsWe confirmed that NRMDL prescription can improve OVX-induced bone loss, improve trabecular density, and relieve osteoporosis. Upon screening of network pharmacology, we obtained 238 overlapping genes of Narenmandula and PMOP, and analyzed AKT, IL1B, and IL6 as key genes by network topology. Among the 1143 target genes that interact with PMOP, 107 NRMDL active compounds correspond to 345 target genes and 238 overlapping genes. Network topology analysis showed the top 8 active ingredients, such as quercetin and kaempferol, and the top 20 key genes, such as AKT, IL1B, IL6, INS, JUN, STAT3, TNF, TP53, etc. Enrichment analysis revealed involvement of PI3K-Akt, HIF-1, FoxO, MAPK, and TNF signaling pathways. In addition, we found the most important active compounds bind tightly to core proteins, which were verified by molecular docking analysis. The AKT-related pathway had good binding energy, and the pathway was verified by cell and animal experiments.

conclusionThe potential mechanism and efficacy of Narenmandula against PMOP may be related to the PI3K-AKT pathway.
