Icariin: Multi-target natural products for the multi-stage prevention and treatment of breast cancer (Review).
Review in Molecular and clinical oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The present review examines the intricate relationship between icariin and breast cancer (BC), encompassing foundational theoretical concepts, epidemiological data, diagnostic methodologies, therapeutic approaches, ongoing debates and prospective future developments. The foundational theoretical concepts address the mechanisms through which icariin influences BC pathogenesis, as well as its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties and historical context. The epidemiological section analyzes the global incidence and prevalence of BC, alongside its underlying pathophysiology. Diagnostic methodologies are discussed with a focus on imaging technologies, biomarkers, and the innovative role of icariin in advancing diagnostic techniques. Therapeutic approaches investigate icariin's potential as a chemo-preventive agent, its synergistic interactions with conventional therapies and the outcomes of clinical trials. The section on controversies explores discussions surrounding icariin's efficacy, safety and the associated regulatory and ethical considerations. Future directions emphasize emerging trends, the potential for personalized medicine, and future prospects in BC treatment. The present review aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of icariin's role in BC research and therapeutic applications.
