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

objectiveIn this study, 25 synthetic cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs) were investigated for their anticancer potential against mouse melanoma (B16F10) cells, human prostate cancer (PC-3), human colorectal adenocarcinoma (HT-29) and mouse embryonic fibroblast (NIH3T3) cells.

methodsThe cytotoxic activity of investigated compounds was evaluated using MTT and CV assays. In order to examine the mechanism of action of the most potent compound cell cycle analysis, apoptosis assay, caspase activity, CFSE and DHR staining, DAF-FM, autophagy and immunocytochemistry caspase-3 assays were performed.

resultsDuring the fast screening, compound 9, was identified as prospective active CLP against B16F10 cell line at 10 μM concentration. MTT and CV assays exhibited at least four times higher cytotoxic potential of 9 (IC

conclusionThe study highlights that synthetic macrocycle 9 has superior tumor-specificity and potential as an anticancer agent compared to surfactin and cisplatin. These findings could guide the development of more selective and less harmful macrocyclic lipopeptides for cancer therapy.
