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

Objectives: This study aims to introduce a methodology for identifying medicinal plants that contain effective natural compounds with the most possible synergistic effects to inhibit cancer survival and proliferation in a multi-targeted manner. Materials and Methods: To select targets, the signaling pathways involved in cancer development were defined from the KEGG database, and the protein-protein interactions (PPIs) of genes within these pathways were investigated using the STRING software. Then 14 proteins with the highest degree were identified as targets. Using the NPASS database, natural compounds were initially filtered based on their IC Results: The targets with the highest protein interactions, as identified by PPI analysis on cancer signaling pathways, were selected as hub proteins. Natural compounds with IC Conclusions: We have proposed a methodology for pre-screening the natural compounds database to identify potential compounds with a high likelihood of producing a synergistic response against multiple molecular mechanisms in cancer. However, further validation methods are necessary to confirm their effectiveness.
