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
Coumarins induce apoptosis by activating mitochondrial pathway and caspase-3-dependent apoptotic pathway. In the present study, we first time investigated the effect of 3-cinnamoyl-4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one (CHP) on induction of apoptosis in human ovarian carcinoma cells. The data from MTT assay revealed a significant inhibitory effect on cell viability at 30 (87%) and 50 μM (74%) concentration of CHP in OVCAR-3 and OVCAR-420 cells, respectively after 72 h. Apoptosis analysis using annexin V/PI double staining followed by flow cytometry showed 59 and 52% binding to annexin V-FITC in OVCAR-3 and OVCAR-420 cells respectively. propidium iodide (PI) staining and flow cytometry examination indicated a significant increase in percentage of cells in G2/M phase after treatment with CHP compared to DMSO control group. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) assay kit showed increase in levels of ROS. We used rhodamine-123 (Rh-123) staining and flow cytometry assay to determine changes in mitochondrial membrane potential (ΛΨm). The results revealed that CHP significantly decreased MMP to 85.65 ± 1.2443% & 49.78 ± 1.6554% at 10 and 30 μM respectively in OVCAR-3 compared to 95.97 ± 2.1243% in control group. Western blot analysis clearly indicated a significant increase in the expression of Caspase-3, Bax, and release of Cytochrome c and decrease in Bcl-2, CDK1 and Cyclin B1 expression on treatment with CHP. Therefore, CHP may become a potential candidate for the treatment of human ovarian cancers.
