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

This study aims to investigate the in vitro antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic/apoptotic potential of active constituents of essential oils on two cancer cell lines; namely, breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) and urinary bladder cancer (T24). Essential oils active constituents (EO-ACs) entail a spectrum of phytochemicals with widely demonstrated anticancer potential. We assessed the effects of eight essential oils active constituents on T24 and MCF-7 cell lines in both dose- (16-1024 µg/mL) and time-dependent manners. Among these, five EO-ACs (citral, carvacrol, eugenol, geraniol, and thymol) exhibited IC
