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

This study integrated network pharmacology, bioinformatics, and experimental validation to investigate the glycolysis-related targets of Yanghe Pingchuan granule (YPG) in asthma therapy. Active ingredients of YPG were screened via TCMSP, with targets identified through UniProt. Asthma-associated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were extracted from GEO datasets, whereas asthma- and glycolysis-related targets were mined from GeneCards, OMIM, TTD, DrugBank and MSigDB. Venn analysis identified three key genes (GSTP1, VEGFA and HIF1A) linked to HIF-1 and VEGF signalling pathways. Molecular docking confirmed strong binding between core YPG compounds (quercetin, kaempferol and luteolin) and these targets. ROC analysis demonstrated high diagnostic value of VEGFA and HIF1A for asthma. In vivo validation showed that YPG significantly downregulated GSTP1, VEGFA and HIF1A expression in asthmatic rats. Our findings establish VEGFA and HIF1A as pivotal glycolysis-associated targets in asthma, indicating that YPG exerts anti-asthma effects by modulating these critical regulators.
