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

backgroundCurcumin originates from the natural herb turmeric, and its antitumor effects have been known about for a long time. However, the mechanism by which curcumin affects gastric cancer (GC) has not been elucidated

aimTo elucidate the potential mechanisms of curcumin in the treatment of GC.

methodsNetwork pharmacological approaches were used to perform network analysis of Curcumin. We first analyzed Lipinski's Rule of Five for the use of Curcumin. Curcumin latent targets were predicted using the PharmMapper, SwissTargetPrediction and DrugBank network databases. GC disease targets were mined through the GeneCard, OMIM, DrugBank and TTD network databases. Then, GO enrichment, KEGG enrichment, protein-protein interaction (PPI), and overall survival analyses were performed. The results were further verified through molecular docking, differential expression analysis and cell experiments.

resultsWe identified a total of 48 curcumin-related genes with 31 overlapping GC-related targets. The intersection targets between curcumin and GC have been enriched in 81 GO biological processes and 22 significant pathways. Following PPI analysis, 6 hub targets were identified, namely,

conclusionCurcumin can play an anti-GC role through a variety of targets, pathways and biological processes.
