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

introductionWithania somnifera (W. somnifera) is a plant with remarkable pharmacological properties. The plant has an impressive profile of medicinal uses in the folk medicine system of several civilizations.

aimThis comprehensive study is aimed to characterize phytochemicals in fruit of W. somnifera and tested for anticancer potential to find out active candidate in disease prevention and treatment.

methodsThe bioactive components from W. somn-ifera fruit were extracted with polar and non-polar solvents. Anticancer potential of the isolated bioactive was assessed against different cancer cell lines through MTT assay and Incucytes imaging analysis. The extracts were characterized for secondary metabolites using GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometer), LCMS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry)-ESI (electrospray Ionization) and 1H-NMR (electrospray Ionization) techniques.

resultsBoth freeze-dried and rotary evaporator con-densed extracts exhibited anticancer potential against MDA-MB-231, MCF7- SKOV3 and SKBR3 cell lines. The tested extracts have cell growth inhibition potential ag-ainst mammalian cancer cell line. Hexacosanedioic acid purified from -hexane extract through HPLC was inves-tigated for its cytotoxicity against breast cancer cell line SKBR3 by using Incucytes imaging analysis.

conclusionWe found that a variety of bioactive compounds existed in this plant. One identified compound that was not investigated for cytotoxicity in previous studies was purified and its application showed cytotoxicity on breast cancer cell lines. A number of bioactive identified from fruit may have an effective potential for development into chemotherapy drugs.
