In Silico and In Vitro Studies on the Mechanisms of Chinese Medicine Formula (Yiqi Jianpi Jiedu Formula) in the Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

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
Objective: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is an important part of the comprehensive treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and Chinese materia medica formulas with the effect of "Yiqi Jianpi" (replenishing qi and strengthening spleen) or "Jiedu" (removing toxicity) have been proved to be effective in treating HCC. However, mechanisms of these formulas in treating HCC remain unclear. In this paper, our goal is to explore the antitumor activity and its molecular mechanisms of Yiqi Jianpi Jiedu (YQJPJD) formula against HCC. Methods: The bioactive ingredients and targets of YQJPJD formula and HCC targets were screened by five Chinese materia medicas and two disease databases, respectively. The network pharmacology was utilized to construct the relationship network between YQJPJD formula and HCC, and the mechanisms were predicted by the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, pathway enrichment analysis, bioinformatics, and molecular docking. Numerous in vitro assays were performed to verify the effect of YQJPJD formula on HCC cells, cancer-associated targets, and PI3K/Akt pathway. Results: The network relationship between YQJPJD formula and HCC suggested that YQJPJD formula mainly regulated the potential therapeutic targets of HCC by several key bioactive ingredients (e.g., quercetin, luteolin, baicalein, and wogonin). PPI network, bioinformatics, and molecular docking analyses displayed that YQJPJD formula may play an anti-HCC effect through key targets such as MAPK3, RAC1, and RHOA. Additionally, pathway analysis demonstrated that YQJPJD formula could play an anti-HCC effect via multiple pathways (e.g., PI3K-Akt and hepatitis B). Experimental results showed that YQJPJD formula could effectively inhibit the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC cells and promote HCC cell apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner. Moreover, YQJPJD formula could decrease the mRNA expression of Conclusion: YQJPJD formula mainly exerts its anti-HCC effect through multiple bioactive ingredients represented by quercetin, as well as multiple pathways and targets represented by PI3K/Akt pathway,
