Effects of Yipi Huayu decoction on tumor markers, immune function, and adverse reactions during chemotherapy in gastric cancer patients: a retrospective propensity score-matched study.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveTo analyze the effects of Yianpi Huayu Decoction on tumor markers, immune function and adverse reactions during chemotherapy in patients with gastric cancer.
methodThe clinical data of 154 patients with progressive gastric cancer who attended Baoji Maternal and Child Health Hospital (Daijiawan Branch) from January 2020 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into an observation group (61 cases) and a control group (93 cases) according to the treatment method and were matched using propensity score matching (PSM). The control group was given SOX neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen (oxaliplatin + tiglio), and the observation group was given spleen-strengthening and blood-stasis-reducing tonics as adjuvant treatment on the basis of the treatment given to the control group. Clinical efficacy in the two groups was observed, as well as Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), Carbohydrate Antigen 72-4 (CA72-4), and Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) levels, immune function (IgA, IgM, and IgG), Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS), and occurrence of adverse reactions.
resultsAfter matching, there was no significant difference in the total clinical efficiency between the two groups (P > 0.05). After matching, there were no differences in CA19-9, CA72-4, and CEA levels between the observation group and the control group before or after treatment (P > 0.05). After matching, the IgA, IgM, and IgG levels in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group after treatment (P < 0.05). The incidence of leukopenia (P = 0.011) and diarrhea (P = 0.011) during treatment was higher in the control group than in the observation group after matching. The KPS score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group after matching (P < 0.05). After matching, Cox regression analysis found that the treatment regimen (P < 0.001, HR = 2.527), TNM staging (P = 0.001, HR = 0.471), local recurrence (P = 0.001, HR = 2.147), and pretreatment CEA (P = 0.011, HR = 1.131) were independent prognostic factors affecting patients' 2-year survival.
conclusionWhile the spleen-enhancing and blood-stasis-removing herbal formula combined with the SOX chemotherapy regimen did not improve therapeutic outcomes in gastric cancer patients, it did enhance immune function, reduce adverse reactions, and improve quality of life.
