Progress in Mechanistic Research and the Use of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Treating Malignant Pleural Effusion.
Review in Cancer management and research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is characterized by the accumulation of fluid in the chest cavity, secondary to metastasis from a primary pleural tumor or malignant neoplasms originating from other anatomical sites. MPE is associated with a poor prognosis. Consequently, timely and effective prevention and management of MPE are critical. In Western medicine, the treatment of MPE primarily involves procedures such as surgical puncture for drainage, pleural fixation, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. In contrast, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) offers therapeutic modalities including oral decoctions, thoracic perfusion with herbal injections, topical applications of medicinal pastes, and acupoint therapies. The TCM approaches have demonstrated satisfactory clinical outcomes. Advances in the study of TCM for managing MPE in lung tumors are expected to yield a wealth of therapeutic strategies, facilitating the development of more optimized clinical treatments.
