Daqinjiao Decoction Ameliorates CSVD via RXR-γ/PPAR-γ/VEGF-α Pathway: Insights From Transcriptome Sequencing and Network Pharmacology.

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
Daqinjiao decoction (DQJD), an ancient traditional Chinese medicine formula, is clinically used in the treatment of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). However, the underlying molecular mechanisms by which DQJD exerts its therapeutic effects on CSVD remain elusive. A Sprague Dawley rat model of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) was established using bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (BCCAO) surgery. The effects of DQJD administered via intragastric gavage (i.g.) were evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), haematoxylin eosin (HE) staining, and transmission electron microscopy. A combined strategy of transcriptomics and network pharmacology was innovatively applied to study the active ingredients, gene targets, and mechanisms of DQJD in treating CSVD. Molecular docking, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and Western blot analysis were applied to confirm the above results further. DQJD improved the pathological damage in cortical and hippocampal tissue by reducing the release of inflammatory factors in CCH rats. RNA-seq technology identified 46 DEGs between DQJD treatment and the model group. Network pharmacology and pathway analysis of DEGs revealed that the PPAR/VEGF signalling pathway was predicted to be significantly affected. Consistently, validation experiments confirmed that activation of the RXR-γ/PPAR-γ/VEGF-α signalling pathway represents a key mechanism underlying DQJD's therapeutic effects against CSVD. DQJD dampened inflammation and ameliorated pathological damage in the hippocampus and cortex, and these beneficial effects were associated with neurovascular protection via activating the RXR-γ/PPAR-γ/VEGF-α pathway.
