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

contextBu-shen-yi-jing-fang (BSYJF) has been reported to reduce amyloid-β (Aβ)

objectiveThis study aims to investigate whether BSYJF exerts a protective effect on Aβ MATERIALS AND

methodsThe platform databases TCMSP, Swiss, TTD, DrugBank, and GeneCards were used to mine the targets of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and BSYJF. The platform databases STRING and Metascape were used to build the interaction network of the target protein, and Cytoscape software was used to analyze this network and screen out the key pathways. Aβ

resultsKyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis considered the key signal pathways, mainly involving the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Experimental validation demonstrated that BSYJF treatment markedly increased the activity of the PI3K/AKT pathway, which could exert anti-AD effects.

conclusionsOur data provided compelling evidence that the protective effects of BSYJF might be associated with their regulation of the PI3K/AKT/Nrf2 signaling pathway. These studies offered a potential therapy for natural herbal medicine treatment of AD.
