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
objectiveThis review aims to explore the potential of Indonesian medicinal plants as therapeutic agents for breast cancer in in vitro studies.
methodsThe review follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and the Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, and Study design (PICOS) framework. Electronic databases, including Pubmed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, SpringerLink, Medline, and Google Scholar, were searched for articles published in English from October 2019 to 2024. Based on the PICOS framework, eligibility criteria are focused on original preclinical studies that addressed the biological activity of extracts or isolates from Indonesian medicinal plants using breast cancer cell lines.
resultIn all, 74 plants from 38 families that are grown in Indonesia were presented as potential therapeutic and chemopreventive agents that may reduce cancer growth, spread, or recurrence. Steroid glycosides, curcumin, pinostrobin, alphitolic acid, isoxanthochymol, 4β,10α-dihydroxyaromadendrane, 4α,10α-dihydroxyaromadendrane were revealed as cytotoxic agents with inhibitory effects on breast cancer cell proliferation and migration. These compaunds were also found to prevent metastasis by suppressing cancer cell adhesion and to induce apoptosis in in vitro studies. Seven Indonesian medicinal plants Begonia sp., Garcinia celebica, Cryptocarya pulchrinervia, Aglaia harmsiana, Syzygium aqueum, Kaempferia pandurata Roxb., and Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb. were shown to significantly inhibit breast cancer cell proliferation, with IC50 values of less than 20 μg/mL.
conclusionThis review article could be a key to further develop the potential of natural products from Indonesian medicinal plants for cancer treatment and prevention, including their roles as chemosensitizers, immunotherapeutics, in combination therapies with other anticancer drugs, in novel formulations, and in elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying their anticancer properties. Furthermore, toxicology evaluation also needs to be studied in detail through the clinical trial stage.
