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

Background: Emotional distress (ED) is closely associated with the progression of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Xiaoyao San (XYS), a classical Chinese herbal prescription traditionally used for mood regulation, has demonstrated potential therapeutic efficacy in emotion-related breast cancer. However, the molecular mechanisms through which XYS mitigates ED-induced TNBC (ED-TNBC) remain insufficiently characterized. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of XYS on ED-TNBC and elucidate its underlying molecular mechanisms. Methods: A TNBC mouse model subjected to chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) was developed to simulate ED-TNBC conditions. The therapeutic efficacy of XYS at varying doses was evaluated through behavioral assessments and tumor growth analyses. Multi-omics analyses integrating network pharmacology, bioinformatics, and molecular dynamics simulations were employed to identify principal active constituents and key molecular targets of XYS. Transcriptomic profiling, Results: High-dose XYS markedly alleviated depression-like behaviors and suppressed ED-TNBC tumor progression, with no evident adverse effects observed. Transcriptomic and molecular analyses revealed that XYS enhanced CD8 Conclusion: XYS directly targets and activates the intratumoral Rela/NF-κB-Cxcl9 axis, promoting CD8
