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

Objectives: In this study, we analyzed the use of the Methods: We obtained an integrated gene set between WMF and EAU using the TCMSP database and GeneCards database. Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analyses were used to elucidate possible therapeutic mechanisms. Moreover, the relationships among the herbal composition, active ingredients, therapeutic targets, and critical cell signaling pathways used to treat EAU were analyzed. Molecular docking was performed to elucidate the patterns of interactions between the active compounds and the targeted proteins. EAU rat models were constructed to examine the therapeutic efficacy of WMF Results: An integrated gene set of 30 genes was acquired. The results of the GO and KEGG analyses indicated that WMF could regulate immune responses and vascular functions during EAU treatment. The PPI network and subnetworks confirmed the presence of 15 hub genes. A network pharmacology map was drawn to understand the complex relationships among herbs, active compounds, targets, and signaling pathways. Additionally, molecular docking was performed on genes with the highest significance (IL-10 and IL-6), representing T-helper activation in immune-mediated uveitis. The active compounds of WMF rapidly docked with IL-10 and IL-6 in the grid box. The results of the Conclusion: WMF can be used to treat EAU as it can modulate immune responses and vascular functions. IL-10 and IL-6 are the main therapeutic targets of WMF, and the herbal composition of WMF can be further optimized to increase its therapeutic efficacy.
