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

Traditionally, active compounds were discovered from natural products by repeated isolation and bioassays, which can be highly time consuming. Here, we have developed a data mining approach using the casual discovery algorithm to identify active compounds from mixtures by investigating the correlation between their chemical composition and bioactivity in the mixtures. The efficacy of our algorithm was validated by the cytotoxic effect of Panax ginseng extracts on MCF-7 cells and compared with previous reports. It was demonstrated that our method could successfully pick out active compounds from a mixture in the absence of separation processes. It is expected that the presented algorithm can possibly accelerate the process of discovering new drugs.
