TCM Prescription Generation via Knowledge Source Guidance Network Combined with Herbal Candidate Mechanism.
Article in Computational and mathematical methods in medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescriptions have made great contributions to the treatment of diseases and health preservation. To alleviate the shortage of TCM resources and improve the professionalism of automatically generated prescriptions, this paper deeply explores the connection between symptoms and herbs through deep learning technology, and realizes the automatic generation of TCM prescriptions. Particularly, this paper considers the significance of referring to similar underlying prescriptions as herbal candidates in the TCM prescribing process. Moreover, this paper incorporates the idea of referring to the potential guidance information of corresponding prescriptions when model extracts symptoms representations. To provide a reference for inexperienced young TCM doctors when they prescribe, this paper proposes a dual-branch guidance strategy combined with candidate attention model (DGSCAM) to automatically generate TCM prescriptions based on symptoms text. The format of the data used this paper is the "symptoms-prescription" data pair. The specific method is as follows. First, DGSCAM realizes the extraction of key information of prescription-guided symptoms through a dual-branch network. Then, herbal candidates in the form of prescriptions that can treat symptoms are proposed in view of the compatibility knowledge of TCM prescriptions. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to use prescriptions as herbal candidates in the prescription generation process. We conduct extensive experiments on a mixed public and clinical dataset, achieving 37.39% precision, 25.04% recall, and 29.99% F1 score, with an average doctor score of 7.7 out of 10. The experimental results show that our proposed model is valid and can generate more specialized TCM prescriptions than the baseline models. The DGSCAM developed by us has broad application scenarios and greatly promotes the research on intelligent TCM prescribing.
