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

Fuzheng Xiaozheng prescription (FZXZP) is an effective formula for the treatment of different kinds of chronic liver diseases. However, its potential molecular mechanisms in treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have not been investigated thoroughly. The aim of this study is to elucidate the targets and intrinsic mechanisms of FZXZP and their active components for the treatment of HCC. The efficacy of FZXZP against HCC was clarified through a rat HCC model and HCC cell culture. Network pharmacology and molecular docking were utilized to predict the mechanism of action and effector components of FZXZP. The key mechanism and targets were verified by the construction of overexpression and knockout cell models. The results showed that FZXZP greatly delayed the development of HCC in vivo experiments, as evidenced by biochemical evaluations, H&E analyses and growth inhibition of HCC. FZXZP dramatically inhibited cell viability and proliferative capacity and induced the apoptosis of hepatoma cells in vitro. Moreover, network pharmacology analyses demonstrated that the
