How to transfer traditional knowledge about medicinal herbs? or TCM plants: a black box for modern oncologists.
Review in Journal of cancer research and clinical oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
objectiveHow could we transfer knowledge about healing plants from other cultures? We analyzed the results of literature search in two exemplary fields-oral mucositis and polyneuropathy. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn both systematic searches of existing literature, we found 57 studies investigating 68 plants from different traditional cultures (16 Western Medicine, 14 Persian Medicine, 9 Japanese, 10 Chinese, and 8 other sources). We analyzed studies regarding their ingredient plants and reproducibility in relation to the system of origin.
resultsWestern and Persian Medicine trials investigate single plants, whereas Japanese and Chinese trials focus on mixtures and decoctions. European folk medicine knows of only 50% of plants used in both Asian cultures. The used ingredients and dosages were reproducible in all analyzed trials except TCM studies.
conclusionsHerbal knowledge has been transferred from all folk medicines worldwide. However, Western oncologists should be aware that Traditional Chinese Medicine herbs are still a black box of knowledge for us until today.
