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
Objective: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has garnered attention for its potential in cancer therapy. Yinchen Wuling San (YWLS), a classical herbal formula, has been traditionally used for liver-related conditions, but its bioactive components and molecular mechanisms relevant to hematologic malignancies such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remain unclear. This study aims to identify the active compounds and potential molecular targets of Yinchen Wuling San in the context of AML through network pharmacology analysis, and to experimentally validate the effects of selected candidate compounds in AML models. Methods: Active ingredients from six YWLS herbs were screened via the TCMSP database using oral bioavailability ≥30% and DL ≥0.18 thresholds. Targets were predicted using SwissTargetPrediction, and AML-related genes were obtained from DisGeNET and GeneCards. Key overlapping targets were analyzed via STRING PPI networks and GO/KEGG enrichment. Molecular docking was performed between three core compounds (genkwanin, isorhamnetin, quercetin) and hub proteins (e.g., SRC) using Sybyl-X. ADME profiles were predicted using SwissADME, and molecular dynamics simulations (GROMACS) assessed complex stability. These compounds were further evaluated Results: Of 621 YWLS targets, 113 overlapped with 1,247 AML-related genes. PPI analysis identified hub genes, including AKT1, SRC, and EGFR. Enrichment analysis highlighted PI3K-AKT, MAPK, and JAK-STAT pathways. Genkwanin, isorhamnetin, and quercetin were predicted to target SRC, with strong molecular docking affinities. ADME analysis suggested favorable pharmacokinetics, and molecular dynamics simulations confirmed structural stability. Conclusion: YWLS compounds, particularly Genkwanin, exhibit significant anti-leukemic activity via apoptosis induction, cell cycle modulation, and promote T cells proliferation. Genkwanin emerges as a promising therapeutic candidate for AML, warranting further clinical investigation.
