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

contextGansui [

objectiveTo investigate the potential effects and mechanisms of Gansui in blocking NSCLC progression. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe targets of Gansui's components and NSCLC-related targets were obtained through public database and published studies. Functional enrichment analysis was performed using the clusterProfiler R package. STRING database was used for protein-protein interaction analysis. CytoHubba plugin was applied to get the hub genes. Molecular docking was applied to assess the binding affinities between the hub targets and the crucial components. Kidjolanin was used to treat A549 and NCI-H1385, and its effects on cell viability, sensitivity of paclitaxel and expression levels of hub genes were investigated by cell counting kit-8 assay, flow cytometry and qPCR.

resultsA total of 16 Gansui active ingredients and 337 targets were collected, of which 298 targets overlapped with NSCLC-related genes. DISCUSSION AND

conclusionGansui exerts anti-NSCLC effects
