Identification of molecular targets and underlying mechanisms of Fuzheng Shengbai Decoction against colon cancer based on network pharmacology.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesTo investigate the molecular targets and underlying mechanisms of Fuzheng Shengbai Decoction (FZSBD) against colon cancer (CC).
methodsMultiple network pharmacology approaches were used to predict the molecular targets and underlying mechanisms of FZSBD against CC. The expression of potential molecular targets was determined. The effects of FZSBD on cell viability, proliferation, migration, invasion, and the cell cycle of CC cells were investigated. The therapeutic efficacy, hematological, immunological, and inflammatory data in patients with CC were evaluated after treatment with the XELOX regimen with and without FZSBD.
resultsA total of 912 potential targets in FZSBD and 2765 DEGs in CC specimens were screened. Five hub genes (TP53, MYC, VEGFA, CCND1, and IL1B) closely associated with immune-related signaling pathways and the cell cycle process were identified. The five hub genes were of prognostic value in CC. The gene and protein expression of the five hub genes was significantly higher in CC tumor tissue samples than that of normal tissue samples. Furthermore, with increasing doses, FZSBD increasingly inhibited growth, migration, and invasion, and suppressed the cell cycle process of CC cells. Supplementing of FZSBD to the XELOX regimen enhanced immune modulation and alleviated inflammatory responses.
conclusionsThis study identified the molecular targets and underlying mechanisms of FZSBD treatment against CC and may provide clues for future research on the treatment of CC with FZSBD.
