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
Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors, and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 85% of all lung cancer cases. Chinese herbal formula Qing-Re-Huo-Xue (QRHXF) has shown antitumor effects in the NSCLC xenograft mouse model of Lewis cells. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the antitumor effects of QRHXF remain unknown. In this study, an A549 xenograft mouse model was established, and the mice were then treated with QRHXF or vehicle through oral gavage. Tumor growth was monitored. Tumors were subsequently harvested, and RNA sequencing was performed. Compared with the control group, mice treated with QRHXF showed smaller tumor size and slower tumor growth. RNA sequencing results indicated 36 differentially expressed genes between QRHXF treated and control groups. 16 upregulated and 20 downregulated genes were identified. Enrichment analysis showed four differential expression genes (DEGs) related to tumor growth pathways RASAL2, SerpinB5, UTG1A4, and PDE3A. In conclusion, this study revealed that QRHXF could inhibit tumor growth in an A549 xenograft mouse model, and the target genes of QRHXF may include PDE3A, RASAL2, SERPIB5, and UTG1A4.
