The Effects of Qinghao-Kushen and Its Active Compounds on the Biological Characteristics of Liver Cancer Cells

Figure 1

Qinghao-Kushen was a potential effective herb pair for the treatment of HCC by network meta-analysis. (a) Network analyses of total clinical efficiency. A line connected interventions that were directly compared. The thickness of the lines represents the number of studies. The size of the nodes corresponds to the total sample size of the interventions. (b) Funnel plot of comparison of overall efficacy. (c) Ranking for overall efficacy comparison of different interventions. Ranking indicates the probability of being the best treatment. (d) Forest plot of traditional meta-analysis. RR > 1, the higher the RR (rate ratio) value, the better the efficacy of TCM treatment compared with the control group. (e) Risk of bias review authors’ judgments about each risk of bias item. The red circle represents a high risk of bias, the yellow circle represents an unclear risk of bias, and the green circle represents a low risk of bias.
