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

Gastric cancer remains a highly heterogeneous malignancy in which chemotherapy response is limited by intrinsic and acquired resistance, cumulative toxicity, and the restricted predictive value of conventional preclinical models. This review critically synthesizes evidence on selected medicinal plants and their bioactive phytocompounds as adjuncts to standard chemotherapy for gastric cancer, with an emphasis on mechanistic plausibility, preclinical synergy, and translational barriers. Across the reviewed literature, phytocompounds from
