Raptinal: a powerful tool for rapid induction of apoptotic cell death.
Review in Cell death discovery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Chemical inducers of apoptosis have been utilized for decades as tools to uncover steps of the apoptotic cascade and to treat various diseases, most notably cancer. While there are several useful compounds available, limitations in potency, universality, or speed of cell death of these pro-apoptotic agents have meant that no single compound is suitable for all (or most) purposes. Raptinal is a recently described small molecule that induces intrinsic pathway apoptosis rapidly and reliably, and consequently, has been utilized in cell culture and whole organisms for a wide range of biological studies. Its distinct mechanism of action complements the current arsenal of cytotoxic compounds, making it useful as a probe for the apoptosis pathway and other cellular processes. The rapid induction of cell death by Raptinal and its widespread commercial availability make it the pro-apoptotic agent of choice for many applications.
