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

Introduction: As a classic botanical drug, Methods: We adopted the mouse mammary tumor virus-polyoma virus middle T antigen (MMTV-PyMT) transgenic mouse model, which recapitulates the natural progression of spontaneous breast tumorigenesis. A combination of pharmacokinetic analysis, network pharmacology, Results: Our results demonstrated that Tan IIA markedly delayed the malignant transformation of benign mammary tumors. Pharmacokinetic characterization confirmed the favorable Discussion: Our work reveals that Tan IIA exerts prominent chemopreventive effects against breast precancerous lesions, mainly by suppressing TF-mediated angiogenesis, indicating its great promise as a candidate agent for early breast cancer intervention.
