Network analysis retrieving bioactive compounds from Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) and their targets related to systemic lupus erythematosus.
Article in PloS one, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Immunosuppressive drugs are essential for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) treatment, but there are concerns about their toxicity. In this study, Arthrospira platensis was used as a resource for screening of the SLE-related bioactive compounds. To discover the potential compounds, a total of 833 compounds of A. platensis C1 were retrieved from the Spirulina-Proteome Repository (SpirPro) database and by literature mining. We retrieved structures and bioassays of these compounds from PubChem database; and collected approved and potential drugs for SLE treatment from DrugBank and other databases. The result demonstrated that cytidine, desthiobiotin, agmatine, and anthranilic acid, from the alga, has Tanimoto matching scores of 100% with the following drugs: β-arabinosylcytosine/cytarabine, d-dethiobiotin, agmatine, and anthranilic acid, respectively. The bioassay matching and disease-gene-drug-compound network analysis, using VisANT 4.0 and Cytoscape, revealed 471 SLE-related genes. Among the SLE-related genes, MDM2, TP53, and JAK2 were identified as targets of cytarabine, while PPARG and IL1B were identified as targets of d-dethiobiotin. Binding affinity between the drug ligands and the algal bioactive compound ligands with their corresponding receptors were similarly comparable scores and stable, examined by molecular docking and molecular dynamic simulations, respectively.
