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: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) urgently needs effective therapies due to limited targeted options and unfavorable outcomes. We investigated Methods: Liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry was employed to identify the components of TKM formula granules. Network pharmacology-based prediction was used to uncover potential mechanisms by which TKM counteracts TNBC. Potential targets were identified, and pathway enrichment analysis was performed. Subsequently, TNBC cells and 4T1 tumor-bearing mice were used to verify the molecular mechanisms of TKM. Results: We identified 151 active compounds in TKM. Through network pharmacology analysis, 214 TNBC-related targets were found, with 28 core targets, including cell cycle and apoptosis regulators MYC, TP53, AKT1, CCND1, CASP3, PIK3CA, BCL2L1, and CDC42. The compound-target-pathway-disease network showed that schisandrin binds to many treatment targets with satisfactory docking performance, especially for MYC and AKT1. Experimentally, TKM was found to significantly promote apoptosis and induce G2/M-phase cell-cycle arrest in MDA-MB-231 cells. Western blot analysis showed that TKM suppressed PI3K/AKT and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways. Surface plasmon resonance experiment revealed that schisandrin binds to recombinant AKT1 with an equilibrium dissociation constant (K_D) of 1.525 × 10 Conclusion: This study comprehensively explores the multi-target mechanisms of TKM against TNBC using network pharmacology, molecular pharmacology, and metabolomics approaches. These findings provide a foundation for future mechanistic investigations and may support the further preclinical development of TKM-based strategies for TNBC.
