1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

context

objectiveTo isolate the sesquiterpene lactones from the aerial part of MATERIALS AND

methodsThe compounds were identified by one-dimensional (1D) and 2D NMR, HR-MS spectroscopy from the methanol extract. Isolated compounds were investigated for their cytotoxic and antiproliferative effects on human colonic adenocarcinoma cell lines and human embryonal lung fibroblast cell line using MTT assay. The selectivity of the sesquiterpenes was calculated towards the normal cell line. To check the effect of drug interactions between compounds and doxorubicin, multidrug-resistant Colo 320 cells were used.

resultsA new DISCUSSION AND

conclusionsAcetoxydihydrodamsin, 1'-noraltamisin, and psilostachyin showed the most remarkable cytotoxic and antiproliferative activity on tumour cell lines and exerted selectivity towards MRC-5 cell line.
