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

backgroundLiver and heart are two important organs in the human body, whose function strongly affects other organs. On the other hand, these two main organs affect each other due to common metabolic pathways. Therefore, a disorder in any of them can lead to disease in other organs. Today, using the network medicine perspective, these complex connections can be easily mapped and discovered. From the Persian medicine viewpoint, links are formed based on the material causes of diseases, while from the conventional medicine viewpoint, they are mostly formed due to metabolites, genes, and pathways. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this article, we first investigated the recent articles of conventional medicine that examine the relationship between heart and liver in the important databases. Then, we checked out the sources of Persian medicine and finally, using the RStudio software used in network medicine for text mining, we drew the communication network centered on heart and liver and their mutual causes from the perspective of Persian Medicine.

resultsExamining the network connection between the heart and the liver showed that the definitions based on Persian medicine, which are based on the material causes of diseases, are very compatible with the genes, metabolites and pathways between these two organs.

conclusionUnderstanding these concepts can be helpful in detecting the co-occurrence of diseases of these two organs, as well as predicting the possible occurrence of related diseases between the heart and liver, and ultimately in better treatment.
