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

Despite advances in therapeutic strategies, colorectal cancer (CRC) remains the third cause of cancer-related deaths with a relatively low survival rate. Resistance to standard chemotherapy represents a major hurdle in disease management; therefore, developing new therapeutic agents demands a thorough understanding of their mechanisms of action. One of these compounds is ST1926, an adamantyl retinoid that has shown potent antitumor activities in several human cancer models. Here, we show that ST1926 selectively suppressed the proliferation of CRC cells while sparing normal counterparts, and significantly reduced tumor volume in a xenograft cancer mouse model. Next, we investigated the effects of ST1926 in CRC cells and observed early DNA damage, S-phase arrest, dissipation of mitochondrial membrane potential, and apoptosis induction, in a
