Enhanced Water Solubility and Anti-Tumor Activity of Oleanolic Acid through Chemical Structure Modification.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Cancer has been a major health problem in the world in the past decades. It is urgent to develop new, effective and safe drugs for the treatment of cancer. There are many pentacyclic triterpenoids with positive anti-tumor activity and safety in nature. Oleanolic acid (OA), as one of the pentacyclic triterpenoids, also has broad biological activities including liver protection, anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, antiviral and anti-tumor. Therefore, to investigate its anti-tumor activity and mechanism, many OA derivatives have been developed. Some derivatives are less toxic to normal hepatocytes, which may be due to the strong liver protection ability of OA. However, the poor water solubility of OA is one of the main reasons for the weak anti-tumor activity. It is reported that some OA derivatives could enhance solubility by chemically linking some hydrophilic groups to improve anti-tumor activity. This review not only summarizes the highly water-soluble OA derivatives that can improve anti-tumor activity reported in recent years, but also introduces their possible anti-tumor mechanisms.
