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

backgroundCancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, underscoring the need for novel therapies. SH003, an herbal mixture composed of

methodsThis Phase I, multi-center, open-label, dose-escalation study enrolled patients with advanced lung or breast cancer. Participants received SH003 orally at doses of 2400, 3600, or 4800 mg daily, alongside intravenous docetaxel (75 mg/m²) every 21 days. A 3 + 3 dose-escalation design was employed to determine the maximum tolerated dose. Safety assessments and adverse event monitoring were conducted at each treatment cycle.

resultsTwelve participants were enrolled. SH003 was well tolerated up to 4800 mg/day, with no dose-limiting toxicities attributed to SH003. The most common adverse events were neutropenia, primarily associated with docetaxel, and mild dermatologic reactions such as eczema, rash acneiform, and pruritus. Preliminary evidence of disease stabilization was observed in several participants.

conclusionThe combination of SH003 and docetaxel demonstrated a favorable safety profile, with 4800 mg/day identified as maximum tolerated dose for SH003. These findings support further investigation in Phase II trials to assess therapeutic efficacy.
