The apoptotic efficacy of succinic acid on renal cancer cell lines.
Article in Medical oncology (Northwood, London, England), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Recently, studies on the effects of non-toxic substances on cancer prophylaxis have gained value as an alternative to existing treatment options. Current studies have shown that succinic acid or its derivatives exhibit anticancer activity by inducing apoptosis. We aimed to investigate the anticancer activity of succinic acid on renal cancer for the first time in the literature. The cytotoxic activity of succinic acid on CAKI-2 and ACHN as renal cancer cell lines and MRC-5 as a healthy cell line was determined using the WST-1 cytotoxicity test. Apoptotic activity was measured by Annexin V test and cell death ELISA kit. The results showed that 25 μM and 50 μM doses of succinic acid for 24 h remarkably reduced the cell viability for CAKI-2 cells (89.77% and 90.77%) and ACHN cells (41.57% and 54.54%). Also, no significant effect was observed on the healthy cell line, as we expected. Additionally, administration of succinic acid at same doses resulted in apoptotic activity for ACHN cells (19.1 and 12.7) and CAKI-2 cells (19.85 and 29.55). ELISA results with same doses of succinic acid treatment increased the apoptotic fragment rates by 4.7 and 2.13-fold in CAKI-2 cells, and 32.92, 12.7-fold in ACHN cells. Succinic acid is a focal point for cancer treatments not only for its apoptotic success on cancer cells but also for its capacity to be metabolically active for humans. Our results suggest that succinic acid could be a potential therapeutic agent for individual cancer treatment approaches together with further molecular research.
