Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveAlpinia elegans (Zingiberaceae) is a Philippine endemic plant reported to have various folkloric uses. The seed oil of A. elegans has been shown to contain a majority of the following bioactive compounds: D-limonene, α-pinene, and caryophyllene oxide. The study sought to determine if the bioactive compounds found in A. elegans seed oil would be a good natural, inexpensive, and less-detrimental alternative for cancer treatment.
methodsThe study utilized in silico (Way2Drug predictive services, SwissADME, AutoDock 4) experiment to examine the aforementioned compounds as viable therapeutic candidates against human cancer cell lines.
resultResults determined that the compounds D-limonene, α-pinene, and caryophyllene oxide were most potent against thyroid gland carcinoma (8505C) cells, brain glaucoma (Hs 683) cells, and promyeloblast leukemia (HL-60) cells, respectively. Additionally, D-limonene was the only compound to show arrhythmia as an adverse effect. Predictions showed that the compounds could inhibit cellular growth factors and serine/threonine-protein kinase activity. The compounds generated a bioavailability score of 0.55 and exhibited blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration. D-limonene, α-pinene, and caryophyllene oxide had binding energy of -4.59, -5.43, and -6.92, respectively.
conclusionThe binding energy indicated that the ligands could securely dock to the receptors, thus suggesting that interaction between the ligands and receptors was stable. Results have shown that the compounds are promising candidates against human cancer cell lines by inhibiting cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis.
