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

contextCephaeline is a natural product isolated from ipecac (

objectivesThis study investigates the anti-lung cancer activity and mechanisms of cephaeline both MATERIALS AND

methodsH460 and A549 lung cancer cells were used. The cephaeline inhibition rate on lung cancer cells was detected

resultsCephaeline showed significant inhibitory effects on lung cancer cells, and the IC DISCUSSION AND

conclusionWe demonstrated for the first time that cephaeline inhibits NRF2, leading to ferroptosis in lung cancer cells. These findings may contribute to the development of innovative therapeutics for lung cancer.
