In Vitro and In Vivo Anticancer Activity of Basil (
Review in Cancers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundCancer is an irregular proliferation of cells that starts with a gene mutation that alters cellular function, is triggered by several factors, and can be inherited or acquired. The aim of this review is to discuss the anticancer activity of basil and its components' strength, focusing on its implication in cancer prevention and treatment.
methodsThis systematic review involves all of the studies published from 1 January 2010 through 1 January 2022.
resultsIn this review, 16 research articles are included to discuss the potential anticancer ability of the extracts of various
conclusionsBased on 16 published studies, basil demonstrates important anticancer activities in vivo and vitro models, and it could act as a potential cancer.
