Abstract
Network pharmacology has become a widely used approach for deciphering multi-component, multi-target mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Here we introduce TCMCard, a high-confidence digital infrastructure built on a Multi-Dimensional Evidence Integration (MDEI) framework. The framework integrates experimental activity data from authoritative chemical databases, literature-derived evidence, and structure-based similarity inference. Preprocessing steps include chemical structure normalization, species-specific filtering, and target quality scoring. Applied to conventional interaction datasets, this pipeline leads to the removal of over 60% of low-confidence noise. TCMCard supports network pharmacology exploration through an interactive visualization platform, and module analysis identifies functionally relevant communities that offer insights into the synergistic actions of TCM formulas. Overall, TCMCard may help move the field beyond simple data aggregation toward evidence-informed curation and quality-driven analysis. As an interactive and publicly accessible platform, it reveals an organized backbone within complex interaction networks, offering a more reliable basis for understanding multi-component synergy in TCM.
