Diagnostic Value of Serum Markers Combined with TVCDS in Ovarian Cancer Patients Treated with Bushen Yiqi Quyu Prescription.
Article in Evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine : eCAM, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundTo compare the diagnostic value of serum markers human epididymal protein 4 (HE4) and cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) combined with transvaginal color Doppler sonography (TVCDS) in ovarian cancer (OC) treated with Bushen Yiqi Quyu prescription.
methodsA total of 232 OC patients treated at the hospital from January 2018 to October 2020 were randomly divided into an observation group (
resultsThe total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group. After treatment, HE4 and COX-1 levels in both groups were considerably lower than those before treatment, and in the observation group, they decreased significantly than in the control group. HE4 and COX-1 were positively correlated with the clinical stage of OC. The higher the clinical stage, the higher the levels of HE4 and COX-1. After treatment, there was no significant difference in tumor location and the boundary between the two groups. There were statistically significant differences in tumor echo, nature, morphology, calcification, internal blood flow, and lymph node metastasis, and the difference in the observation group was more evident than in control group. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive detection rate, and negative detection rate of combined detection were higher than those of single detection.
conclusionsBushen Yiqi Quyu prescription has certain curative effects in the treatment of OC patients, which can significantly reduce the level of tumor markers and improve the symptoms of OC patients. The combined detection of HE4, COX-1, and TVCDS has high sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy, which can effectively detect OC and reduce missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.
