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

Chicoric acid (CA), a polyphenolic compound found in chicory (Cichorium intybus), shows potential for the management of a number of diseases due to its antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and insulin-sensitizing properties. Chicory, a perennial member of Asteraceae family, is undoubtedly an underestimated vegetable. Currently, its primary usage is concentrated in India, Greece, Italy, and Poland. This review will concentrate on the potential of chicoric acid in different diseases through a study of the literature and in silico research. A comprehensive search of the literature was conducted using specialized and dedicated search engines. Chicoric acid has an impact on several disease types reported in vitro and in vivo. Chicoric acid has surfaced as a promising neuroprotective agent, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetics, and antimicrobial exhibiting a broad range of actions that contribute to health and function. Bioactive compound effects on diseases are examined using network pharmacology (ADME, networking, and docking). KEGG analysis and gene ontology demonstrated that chicoric acid works by interfering with many immune system and cancer pathways. Chicoric acid had the best match with receptor proteins 1PXX and 2YCF, which suited the chemical chicoric acid best, with docking scores of - 8.46 and - 9.4, respectively. To sum up, chicoric acid is a new molecule in the medication development process.
