Objective
To explore the mechanism of ginseng in the treatment of spleen-qi deficiency by using a comprehensive method combining metabolomics and network pharmacological analysis.
Conclusions
Ginseng has good pharmacological effects by controlling key targets of related metabolic pathways, signal pathways, and potential biomarkers.
Critical Appraisal
Published research can offer valuable insights, but a paper’s conclusions may go beyond what its results support. Critical appraisal examines the methods, findings and limitations to clarify what can reasonably be concluded—and what remains uncertain.
