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

Background: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) offers the advantage of effectively relieving rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with minimal side effects. The Juanbi recipe is a commonly utilized TCM treatment for RA, yet its pharmacological mechanism remains unclear. Network pharmacology serves as an effective tool for identifying pharmaceutical ingredients and potential therapeutic targets of TCM, thereby uncovering its mechanisms. This study aimed to identify the core target genes and explore the mechanisms underlying the treatment of RA with the Juanbi recipe. Methods: This study adopted the method of network pharmacology to filter key gene targets of Juanbi recipe in RA treatment. Single-cell ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing data was used to screen the key genes to form the core genes of Juanbi recipe in RA treatment. The molecular docking technique was used to verify the core target genes and explore the mechanisms of Juanbi recipe in RA treatment. The RA model of mice was induced by the collagen-induced arthritis and the effect of Juanbi recipe was evaluated by intragastric administrating of extraction of Juanbi recipe. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to analysis serum inflammatory factors. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was used to evaluate inflammation and immunohistochemical (IHC) staining was used to evaluate core target genes and pathways in synovium of ankle. Results: This study screened out 281 active molecules in Juanbi recipe, found 105 key target genes of Juanbi recipe in RA treatment, and drew an "ingredient - molecule - gene" diagram. Juanbi recipe reduced the levels of serum interleukin (IL)-1 and IL-6, the inflammatory infiltration in synovium, demonstration that Juanbi recipe reduced both systemic and synovial inflammatory response. Single cell RNA sequencing data were used to select six core target genes and six core active molecules of Juanbi recipe in RA treatment. The pathways of Juanbi recipe in RA treatment involved in activator protein-1 ( Conclusions: The core active molecules of Juanbi recipe could inhibit key factors of
