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
Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer related death in the United States. Cisplatin is a platinum-based anti-cancer drug used against ovarian cancer that enters malignant cells and then damages DNA causing cell death. Typically, ovarian cancer cells become resistant to cisplatin making it necessary to increase subsequent dosage, which usually leads to side-effects including irreversible damage to kidney and auditory system tissue. Ovarian cancer resistance is often associated with upregulation of histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes that cause DNA to adopt a closed configuration which reduces the ability of cisplatin to target and damage DNA. Compound B, a platinum(IV) complex with two axial phenylbutyrate (PBA) HDAC inhibitor ligands attached to a cisplatin core, can simultaneously inhibit HDAC activity and damage DNA causing decreased cancer cell viability in cisplatin-sensitive (A2780) and -resistant (A2780cis) ovarian cancer cell lines. However, compound B was not previously evaluated in vivo. As simultaneously inhibiting HDAC-mediated resistance with cisplatin treatment could potentiate the platinum drug's effect, we first confirmed the anti-cancer effect of compound B in the A2780 and A2780cis cell lines using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide spectrophotometric assay. Then, we used zebrafish embryo and transgenic animal models to comparatively analyze the effect of cisplatin, compound B, and controls on general organismal, auditory, and renal system toxicity, and cancer metastasis. We found that lower dosages of compound B (0.3 or 0.6 µM) than of cisplatin (2.0 µM) could cause similar or decreased levels of general, auditory, and renal tissue toxicity, and at 0.6 µM, compound B reduces cancer metastasis more than 2.0 µM cisplatin.
