Computer-Aided Drug Design in Research on Chinese Materia Medica: Methods, Applications, Advantages, and Challenges.
Review in Pharmaceutics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Chinese materia medica (CMM) refers to the medicinal substances used in traditional Chinese medicine. In recent years, CMM has become globally prevalent, and scientific research on CMM has increasingly garnered attention. Computer-aided drug design (CADD) has been employed in Western medicine research for many years, contributing significantly to its progress. However, the role of CADD in CMM research has not been systematically reviewed. This review briefly introduces CADD methods in CMM research from the perspectives of computational chemistry (including quantum chemistry, molecular mechanics, and quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics) and informatics (including cheminformatics, bioinformatics, and data mining). Then, it provides an exhaustive discussion of the applications of these CADD methods in CMM research through rich cases. Finally, the review outlines the advantages and challenges of CADD in CMM research. In conclusion, despite the current challenges, CADD still offers unique advantages over traditional experiments. With the development of the CMM industry and computer science, especially driven by artificial intelligence, CADD is poised to play an increasingly pivotal role in advancing CMM research.
