Data on cytotoxic pattern of cholesterol analogs for lung adenocarcinoma cells.
Article in Data in brief, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Cholesterol (Cho) is a sterol that plays an essential role in the maintenance of biologic cell membranes, and various lipoproteins are its carriers through blood circulation [1]. Some FDA-approved anticancer drugs (i.e., Lipoplatin and Myocet) are conjugated to Cho moieties to improve their pharmacokinetic properties, cellular uptake and target specificity [2]. Recently natural and synthetic sterol compounds have shown a broad spectrum of pharmacological activities [3,4]. Herein, we investigated the anticancer activity of various natural Cho analogs, ie. asiatic acid (AsA), betulinic acid (BeA), oleanolic acid (OleA), ursolic Acid (UrA), lupeol (Lupe) and β-sitosterol (β-Sito) against non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma (A549). We performed theoretical calculations of the biophysicochemical properties, and viability assays in a range of 5-100 μM in A549 cells of these Cho analogs. We used ChemSketch and ChemSpider to determine physical properties, and GraphPad Prism 8 software for the data analysis to determine the inhibitory concentrations at 50% (IC
