Integrated pharmacoanalysis, bioinformatics analysis, and experimental validation to identify the ingredients and mechanisms of Xiao-Luo-Wan in uterine fibroids treatment.

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
contextXiao-Luo-Wan (XLW), a classical prescription in traditional Chinese medicine, has therapeutic effects on uterine fibroids (UFs). Herein, its anti-UF effects were examined using a systematic pharmacological method.
objectiveTo explore the active ingredients of XLW MATERIALS AND
methodsA mass spectrometer was used to scrutinize the composition of the XLW drug-containing serum. The critical targets and potential mechanisms of XLW against UFs were predicted by network pharmacology and molecular docking. Next, human uterine leiomyoma cells (UMCs) were treated with 20%, 30%, or 40% XLW serum for 24 h, 48 h or 72 h. Cell viability was analyzed
resultsThere were 16 chemical components identified in XLW drug-containing serum, with 53 target genes predicated in the treatment of UFs. The molecular binding of core targets, including TRIM9, NF-κB and p38MAPK, was relatively stable to components, especially buergerinin B, cedrol and ent-15B-16-epoxy- kauan-17-ol. The DISCUSSION AND
conclusionsThe integration of mass spectrometry, network pharmacology, molecular docking and biological experiments revealed the key constituents of XLW and its pharmacological mechanism in UFs, which may help in the discovery of therapeutic agents for treating UFs.
