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

Purpose: To explore the pharmacological effects of Jianpi Zhidong Decoction (JPZDD) on Tourette Syndrome (TS) using proteomics and network pharmacology. Materials and Methods: Chemical components of JPZDD were identified via UPLC-MS/MS. Chronic restraint stress TS model was established by intraperitoneal injection of iminodipropionitrile (IDPN) for 1 week with restraint stress for 3 weeks. Sixty male SD rats were divided into control, model, Tiapride (Tia), and JPZDD groups. After the intervention of 28 days, behavioral tests, Nissl staining, Western blot, immunofluorescence, colorimetry, and ELISA were performed to evaluate the pharmacological effects of JPZDD. Proteomics and network pharmacology predicted targets, validated by Western blot. Results: JPZDD alleviated stereotypic behaviors, hippocampal pathology, and modulated glucose metabolites (GLU, pyruvate, lactate, ATP). It downregulated GLUT1, GLUT3, HK2, and LDHA levels while upregulating PDHA level. Besides, JPZDD balanced M1/M2 microglial phenotypes, reducing IL-1β and IL-6 and increasing IL-4 and IL-10. UPLC-MS/MS identified 44 active ingredients and 123 targets; proteomics revealed 28 differentially expressed proteins. GO/KEGG analysis implicated that the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway may be the molecular target. JPZDD inhibited PI3K, AKT, and mTOR phosphorylation. Conclusion: JPZDD (16 g·kg⁻¹·d⁻¹) alleviates motor tics, modulates microglial activation and glucose metabolism, and downregulates the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, providing a mechanistic basis for its therapeutic role in TS.
