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

The present study aimed to investigate the potential inhibitory activities of various Terminalia brownie extracts against the proliferation of different cancer cell lines. Fractionation was carried out through the process of liquid-liquid extraction produced four fraction types using polarity-enhancing solvents such as, n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and water. All extracts have been tested for their cytotoxicity against cancer cell lines using SRB assay and their inhibitory activity on cell cycle phases using flow cytometry. The chloroform extract exhibited a cytotoxic effect against all three types of cancer cell lines and especially the HepG2 cells at 100-µg concentration. Moreover, the most prominent plant extracts of chloroform, acetyl acetate, and hexane showed significant induction of cell death during the S phase cell cycle. The findings of this study suggest that compounds in the Terminalia brownie plant used in traditional Saudi medicine may have the potential to suppress the growth of cancer cell lines.
