Bacopasaponins with cytotoxic activity against human breast cancer cells in vitro.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Globally, breast cancer is a serious concern that exhibits a persistent rise in its incidence and related mortality even after significant advancement in the field of cancer research. To find an alternative cure for the disease from natural resources we selected Bacopa monniera, a perennial ethnomedicinal plant popularly used for boosting memory and mental health. We isolated four different types of dammarane saponins, namely bacopasaponins C-F (1-4) from the plant and evaluated their toxic effects on two different types of human breast cancer cell lines-a hormone-responsive MCF7 and a triple-negative MDA-MB-231. Interestingly, MTT assay revealed a dose-dependent toxic effect of all four types of bacopasaponins on both of these cell lines, 4 being the most effective with 48 h-inhibitory concentration (IC
