Mathermycin, an anti-cancer molecule that targets cell surface phospholipids.
Article in Toxicology and applied pharmacology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Mathermycin, a lantipeptide isolated from marine actinomycete Marinactinospora thermotolerans, is an antibiotic that has been shown to disrupt bacterial plasma membrane. We now provide evidences that mathermycin can also disrupt cancer, but not normal, cell plasma membranes through targeting phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), which is located only in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane in normal cells but in both the inner and outer leaflets of the membrane in tumor cells. Our data shows that mathermycin inhibits the metabolic activity and induces mainly necrotic death of all cancer cell lines with EC
