All the networks can be performed by employing the network visualization software Cytoscape 3.2.1. Three networks were constructed as follows: (1) PPIs of gouty arthritis targets; (2) Compound-potential targets-disease network analysis; (3) Pathways-targets network analysis. In these network plots, nodes represent herbs and chemicals, and edges indicate interactions between different chemicals, targets, and pathways. The “degree” of a node was defined as the number of its connected edges.
