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

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, underscoring the need for more effective and well-tolerated therapeutic strategies. Methods: Network pharmacology, molecular docking, and label-free proteomics were combined with cell-based assays. Functional relevance of AKT signaling was evaluated using siRNA knockdown, MK2206, and SC79. Results: Fifty-three putative bioactive compounds and 154 CRC-related targets were identified, with AKT1, EGFR, and SRC emerging as candidate hub proteins. EEDJF significantly inhibited proliferation in HCT116 and SW480 colorectal cancer cells, induced apoptosis, and promoted G1/S cell cycle arrest. In contrast, EEDJF showed minimal cytotoxicity toward HaCaT epithelial cells under the tested conditions. Proteomic and enrichment analyses consistently highlighted the PI3K-Akt-related signaling among the most significantly associated pathways. Modulation of AKT activity altered the cellular response to EEDJF, supporting the involvement of this pathway. Conclusion: EEDJF exerts anti-colorectal cancer effects
