R-flurbiprofen, a novel nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, decreases cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in pituitary adenoma cells in vitro.

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
R-flurbiprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug derivative, has been shown to inhibit colonic adenoma formation in mice. We investigated the effects of R-flurbiprofen on cell proliferation and apoptosis in pituitary adenoma cell lines. GH4C1 rat pituitary cell line cultures and low-passage human primary pituitary cell cultures were treated with varying concentrations of R-flurbiprofen (0.1-1.0 mM). R-flurbiprofen inhibited cell proliferation in a dose-dependent fashion. A terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay and chromatin condensation/dead cell apoptosis assay demonstrated induction of apoptosis at higher concentrations of R-flurbiprofen. R-flurbiprofen decreases cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in pituitary adenoma cells in vitro. This may be a potential therapy in the management of pituitary adenoma.
