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

Breast cancer, a major global health challenge, is driven by aberrant receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) signaling via epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR). This study employs a "Dynamic Scapping" workflow, integrating molecular docking, 500 ns molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and MM/GBSA binding free energy calculations to identify natural products with potential for dual binding to EGFR (PDB: 1M17) and VEGFR (PDB: 3VHE). From ~ 20,000 natural products, virtual screening shortlisted 13 EGFR and 12 VEGFR hits, with Digitonin, Cyclamin, Vicenin-2, Glucosylorientin, and Nicotiflorin selected for EGFR, and Quercetagetin, Silychristin, Quercetin, Scutellarein, and Isorhamnetin for VEGFR, alongside references (Erlotinib, Pyrrolopyrimidine). MD simulations, conducted as single trajectories per system, revealed stable complexes (RMSD: 1.73-2.92 Å), with Digitonin, Cyclamin, and Silychristin showing binding energies (ΔG
