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

Purpose: Through network pharmacological prediction and in vitro experimental verification, the mechanism of action of Lianqiao Jinbei Decoction (LJD) in inhibiting HER2-positive breast cancer cells was clarified, providing experimental evidence for its treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer. Methods: Network pharmacology method was used to construct the potential target network of LJD in the treatment of HER2+ breast cancer. After cell culture in vitro, the proliferation of HER2+ SK-BR3 breast cancer cells was investigated using CCK-8 technique. The apoptotic potential of SK-BR3 cells was detected by flow cytometry, and the migration of SK-BR3 cells was detected by cell scratch assay. The expression of HER2 protein in SK-BR3 breast cancer cells was detected by ELISA. Results: HER2 was identified as the central gene and quercetin, β-sitosterol, and luteolin were the primary active ingredients using network pharmacology analysis. Serum-containing LJD medication can stop SK-BR3 cells from proliferating ( Conclusion: Regarding treating HER2-positive breast cancer, LJD has a multi-component, multi-target, and multi-pathway mode of action. The primary target of LJD's activity is the HER2 protein. Serum-containing LJD medication can prevent SK-BR3 cells from proliferating and migrating while encouraging their apoptosis. This effect may be attained by preventing HER2 protein expression.
