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
Purpose: Jiawei-Huang Lian-Gan Jiang decoction (JWHLGJD) was developed to treat and prevent the patients with colorectal adenomas (CRA) in China. This study is aimed to discover JWHLGJD's active compounds and demonstrate mechanisms of JWHLGJD against CRA through network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques. Methods: All the components of JWHLGJD were retrieved from the pharmacology database of Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology (TCMSP). The GeneCards database, the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man database (OMIM), the DrugBank database, and PharmGKB were used to obtain the genes matching the targets. Cytoscape created the compound-target network. The network of target protein-protein interactions (PPI) was constructed using the STRING database. Gene Ontology (GO) functional and the Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways involved in the targets were analyzed by using the DAVID database. Cytoscape created the component-target-pathway (C-T-P) network. AutoDock Vina software was used to verify the molecular docking of JWHLGJD components and key targets. Core genes linked with survival and tumor microenvironment were analyzed through the Kaplan-Meier plotter and TIMER 2.0 databases, respectively. Results: Compound-target network mainly contained 38 compounds and 130 targets of the JWHLGJD associated with CRA. TP53, MAPK1, JUN, HSP90AA1, and AKT1 were identified as core targets by the PPI network. KEGG pathway shows that the pathways in cancer, lipids, and atherosclerosis, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and MAPK signaling pathway, are the most relevant pathways to CRA. The C-T-P network suggests that the active component in JWHLGJD is capable of regulating target genes of these related pathways. The results of molecular docking showed that berberine and stigmasterol were the top two compounds of JWHLGJD, which had high affinity with TP53 and MAPK1, respectively. And, MAPK1 exerted a more significant effect on the prognosis of adenocarcinoma, for it was highly associated with various immune cells. Conclusion: Findings in this study provided light on JWHLGJD's active components, prospective targets, and molecular mechanism. It also gave a potential way to uncovering the scientific underpinning and therapeutic mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formulas.
