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
Cisplatin (DDP), a platinum-chelated compound renowned for its antitumor activity, is often utilized in cancer therapy. However, its real-world clinical efficacy is compromised by poor solubility and low stability, which impedes wider clinical application. Our study aimed to address these limitations of DDP through host-guest supramolecular chemistry approaches. We explored the potential of 18-crown-6 as the host molecule to solubilize and stabilize DDP, the guest molecule. Utilizing techniques such as UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and molecular docking, we conducted a comprehensive analysis on the physical state and inclusion mode of the DDP@18-crown-6 complex. Phase solubility studies and Job's plot confirmed that the DDP@18-crown-6 complex significantly enhanced the aqueous solubility of DDP, with an optimal 1:1 binding ratio. Stability analyses revealed that this complex markedly improved the stability of DDP in pure water. Meanwhile, the stabilization effects of DDP@18-crown-6 were remarkably elevated when combined with 0.9% sodium chloride. In vitro antitumor assays in A549 cell lines demonstrated that the DDP@18-crown-6 complex outperformed raw DDP in cytotoxicity, showing a significantly lower IC
