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

objectiveTo investigate the anti-tumor effects and immuno-inflammatory-metabolic mechanisms of Buzhong Yiqi Granules (BYG) in alleviating cancer-related fatigue (CRF) in lung cancer.

methodsUPLC-Q-TOF/MS detected compounds in BYG. CRF was induced in mice via Lewis lung carcinoma cell inoculation, with daily BYG treatment for 14 days. Anti-fatigue efficacy was evaluated through behavioral tests and ATP content detection. Anti-tumor effects were assessed via histopathology, tumor volume, and weight. Immuno-inflammatory-metabolic mechanisms were evaluated using inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-γ) and immune cell subsets (CD4+, CD8+ T cells) in serum and tumor tissues.

resultsNinety-four active compounds were identified in BYG. In the CRF mouse model, BYG prolonged swimming time, reduced tail suspension immobility, increased muscle ATP to exert anti-fatigue effects; it inhibited tumor growth and metastasis by reducing volume and downregulating EGFR/CD34/MMP-9; it also modulated inflammation and immunity by lowering IL-6/TNF-α, elevating IFN-γ, enhancing CD4 + T cells and restoring the CD4 + /CD8 + ratio.

conclusionsBYG alleviates CRF via multi-target mechanisms involving energy metabolism, tumor inhibition, and immune-inflammatory regulation, supporting its clinical use in CRF and potential as lung cancer adjuvant therapy.
