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

Yu-Ping-Feng (YPF) formula is a classical prescription used for enhancing the body's immunity function in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). In clinical practice, the YPF formula has been reported to exhibit antilung cancer and immunomodulatory effect. However, the relationship between them remains unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the antilung cancer effect of the YPF formula and its immune-related mechanisms. The C57BL/6 tumor-bearing mice model was established and randomly divided into the YPF group and the control group. Tumor volume, spleen weight, and survival in both groups were measured and evaluated during 28 days of consecutive intervention. Flow cytometry was used to detect the proportion of immune cell subsets. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) were induced in vitro from bone marrow cells. After intervention by the YPF formula, CCK-8 and flow cytometry analyses were performed to detect proliferation and apoptosis of MDSCs. A coculture system containing T cells and MDSCs was established to further study the role of MDSCs in the regulation of T-cell subsets proportion by the YPF formula. The expressions of MDSCs-related genes and proteins were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting. The results showed the YPF formula inhibited tumor growth, reduced spleen weight, and prolonged the survival of mice. Besides, the proportions of MDSCs subsets and Regulatory
