The possible anti-tumor actions and mechanisms of active metabolites from Cortex Fraxini.
Review in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Cortex Fraxini is a traditional Chinese herb that is widely available, inexpensive, and has low toxicity. Modern pharmacological studies have demonstrated that the active metabolites in Cortex Fraxini, including esculin, esculetin, and fraxetin, exert anti-tumor activities by regulating genes and proteins involved in cancer cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and migration. Additionally, these metabolites play a pivotal role in the regulation of several tumor-associated signaling pathways, including the PI3K/Akt, MAPK/ERK, JAK/STAT3, and Wnt/β-catenin pathways. Due to their pro-apoptotic and anti-proliferative properties
