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 organisms comprising animals and plants are wealthiest sources of bioactive compounds possessing various pharmacological properties specifically: free radical scavenging, antitumor, antimicrobial, analgesic, neuroprotective and immunomodulatory. Marine drugs provide an alternative source to meet the demand of effective, safe and low-cost drugs that are rising with the continuously growing world population. Cancer is one of the leading reasons of mortality in western nations in contrast to communicable diseases of developing nations. In spite of outstanding developments in cancer therapy in past three decades, there is still an insistent necessity for innovative drugs in the area of cancer biology, especially in the unexplored area of marine anticancer compounds. However, recent technological innovations in structure revelation, synthetic creation of new compounds and biological assays have made possible the isolation and clinical assessment of innumerable unique anticancer compounds from marine environment. This review provides an insight into the anticancer research so far conducted in the area of the marine natural products/synthetic derivatives, their possible molecular targets and the current challenges in the drug development.
