A screening strategy for bioactive components from Amaranth: An integrated approach of network pharmacology, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Amaranth is a traditional medicinal and forage plant with promising anti-inflammatory properties. To enhance its utilization in livestock and feed industries, this study investigated the bioactive compounds and mechanisms of Amaranth at different growth stages using metabolomics and network pharmacology. LC-MS/MS identified 266 metabolites, including key compounds such as ferulic acid, isoferulic acid, sinapic acid, and 13-HODE. A total of 132 inflammation-related targets were screened, and enrichment analysis revealed their involvement in ATP binding, inflammatory response, and PI3K-Akt/MAPK signaling pathways. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations confirmed strong interactions between core targets (e.g., IL6, MMP9) and major compounds. These findings demonstrate that phenolic acids and fatty acids in Amaranth possess anti-inflammatory activity, underpinning its prospective use in the formulation of biofunctional feeds and in promoting the health of livestock.
