Cytotoxic, Antioxidant, and Anti-Genotoxic Properties of Combretastatin A4 in Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells: A Comprehensive In Vitro Study.
Article in Biomolecules, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Despite significant advances in drug discovery and the promising antitumor potential of combretastatin A4 (CA-4), which selectively targets rapidly dividing cancer cells, CA-4's effects on non-dividing human cells, such as peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), remain unclear. The aim of this study is to evaluate the in vitro bioactivity of CA-4 in human PBMCs, focusing on its antigenotoxic and antioxidant properties, while comparing its cytotoxic potency against PBMCs, cancer cell lines (JAR and HeLa), and the normal trophoblast cell line HTR-8/SVneo. Cell viability and metabolic activity were evaluated using the MTT assay. ROS production in PBMCs was measured using the H2DCFDA assay, and DNA damage was assessed using the Comet assay. CA-4 showed cytotoxicity in PBMCs and HTR-8/SVneo cells at concentrations above 200 µM, while cancer cells, JAR and HeLa, showed cytotoxicity at 100 µM and 1 µM, respectively. CA-4 also reduced ROS levels in PBMCs under oxidative stress and showed antioxidant effects at concentrations from 1 to 200 µM. In addition, CA-4 showed antigenotoxic effects against H
