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
Our previous study showed remarkable differences in the effect of R-sulforaphane (R-SFN) on the expression of CYPs 19, 1A1, 1A2, and 1B1 in ER(+) MCF7, ER( -) MDA-MB-231, and non-tumorigenic immortalized MCF10A (8). This study aimed to evaluate the effect of R-SFN on phase II enzymes induction and expression of AhR, Nrf2, and ERα in the same breast cell lines. The results showed increased expression of GSTP as a result of treatment with R-SFN in breast cancer cells. An increased NQO1 transcript and protein levels were found in all breast cells, with the most significant increase in MCF7 cells. Similarly, the enhancement of Nrf2 expression was noticed in all tested cells. AhR gene transcript and protein were decreased in MCF7 cells. In MDA-MB-231, increased AhR mRNA was not confirmed at the protein level. No differences were found in the expression of ERα. Overall, the results of the present study extended our earlier suggestions on the possible interference of R-SFN with estrogens homeostasis in breast cancer cells differing in ERα status, as well as in non-tumorigenic immortalized breast epithelial cells. While some of R-SFN effects might be beneficial and useful in breast cancer prevention, the others, particularly GSTP induction, may lead to adverse effects.
