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

backgroundJieyu Fuwei Powder (JFP) is a modified prescription of traditional Chinede medicine used to treat functional dyspepsia (FD). However, its components and how it works are still unknown. Identifying the active ingredients of JFP and understanding its therapeutic mechanism for FD were the objectives of the study.

methodsThe compounds present in JFP were analyzed using the UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS technique. Potential targets for compounds and diseases were obtained from Swiss Target Prediction and GeneCards databases. A PPI network was created using the STRING database to identify key targets. The Metascape database was utilized for conducting GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses. Molecular docking identified active compound-target interactions, validated by FD zebrafish models.

resultsIn total, 65 compounds were identified from JFP and the key active ingredients were Tangeretin, Obovatol, Magnolignan C, Magnolol, Randaiol, Magnolignan A, Luteolin, and Naringenin. The PPI network was constructed, identifying five core targets: SRC, STAT3, PIK3R1, PIK3CA, and MAPK3. JFP primarily regulates anti-depression, promotes gastrointestinal peristalsis, and influences inflammation, according to the enrichment analysis of GO and KEGG pathways. The molecular docking results indicated a strong binding affinity between these five targets and their corresponding compounds. Therefore, the MAPK and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways are important in JFP's effects on FD pathology. Experiments using the zebrafish model confirmed that JFP and its main components could enhance gastrointestinal motility, thus demonstrating the effectiveness of the network pharmacology screening strategy.

conclusionThe study revealed the active ingredients and mechanisms of JFP in treating FD, supporting its clinical application.
