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

introductionDiffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common B-cell lymphoma type. Detoxification and tumor elimination formula, a herbal compound, can potentially treat lymphoma. In this study, network pharmacology and molecular docking approaches were utilized to reveal the potential mechanism of the Jiedu Xiaoliu formula (JDXLF) against DLBCL.

methodsActive compounds and targets of JDXLF were obtained from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology (TCMSP) database. Targets related to DLBCL were retrieved from GeneCards and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) databases. Protein- Protein Interaction (PPI) networks were established to screen core targets. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were performed using R 4.2.2. Model interactions between potential disease targets and pharmacologically active compounds were determined by molecular docking.

resultsScreening of 14 herbal active ingredients yielded 129 active compounds and 1414 disease targets for DLBCL. GO annotations showed that the effects of JDXLF were related to protein phosphorylation and reactive oxygen species response. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis indicated that the detoxification and elimination of tumors formula mainly regulated apoptosis pathways. Nobiletin showed good interaction with AKT1, TP53, and CASP3, and the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay confirmed that nobiletin inhibited the proliferation of SU-DHL-4 cells. Western blot analysis showed that nobiletin downregulated the expressions of p-PI3K, p- AKT, and BCL-2 proteins and upregulated those of cleaved-caspase3 and BAX.

conclusionOur findings preliminarily suggested that the active ingredient of JDXLF, nobiletin, may induce apoptosis in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma SU-DHL-4 cells by regulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
