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

Cancer is a complex interaction among multiple signaling pathways involving a variety of target molecules. Cancer causes morbidity and mortality in millions of people worldwide, and due to its prevalence, the discovery of novel anticancer drugs is urgently required. Nature is considered an important source of the discovery of anticancer treatments, and many of the cytotoxic medicines in clinics today are derived from plants and other natural sources. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) induce a variety of human cancers, and antioxidants or scavengers are used to counteract them. The current study reports on the screening of extracts from 57 plants that are used in the galilee district as a food and/or for traditional medicine. Investigating the free radical scavenging capacity and these plants, and their cytotoxicity, may prove helpful to high-throughput screening projects that use antioxidants and cytotoxic natural products. The current study assessed the correlation between free radical scavenging and cytotoxicity. Correlational analysis is important for increasing the efficiency of the screening process. In the present study, free radical scavenging was assessed using a DPPH assay, while cytotoxicity was measured using a XTT assay. A total of 9 extracts were indicated to exhibit EC
