Natural triterpenoid avicins selectively induce tumor cell death.
Article in Communicative & integrative biology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
Avicins, a family of plant-derived triterpenoids, have been shown to possess pro-apoptotic, anti-mutagenic and anti-inflammatory properties in mammalian cells. Through thiol binding, avicins can also mediate antioxidant defense. Accumulating evidence uncovered during the past several years suggests that avicins induce tumor cell death via multiple mechanisms. This review will focus on recent studies that provide insights into the cellular and molecular processes and pathways by which avicins induce tumor cell death, including the canonical intrinsic mitochondrial and the Fas-mediated apoptosis cascades as well as autophagy-associated non-apoptotic programmed cell death.
