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

Marine Lyngbya has been proven as a potent anticancer agent by disrupting microfilament network. Lyngbya and its associated cyanobacterial compounds have been stressed for futuristic advancements in cancer research and have foreseen explicit advancements in the recent era. Moreover, compounds like lyngbyabellins, lyngbyastatins and other derived toxins are significantly studied. Therefore it is of interest to study the efficacies of Lyngbya fatty acid derivatives. Cytotoxicity and DNA laddering studies proves the efficiency and safety of marine Lyngbya. Caspase - 3 along with MMP2 and MMP9 affirms the anti-inflammatory properties. Molecular docking shows that Octadecanoic acid has strong binding affinity to MMP-2. The role of octadecanoic acid as a proapoptotic factor in emancipation of inflammation apart from inducing apoptosis is of interest to study in future.
