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

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a widespread highly malignant type of lung cancer. Conventional chemotherapeutic drugs may be accompanied by both drug resistance and serious side effects in patients. Therefore, safer and more effective medications are urgently needed for the treatment of NSCLC. This study investigates the mode of action of 21 phytoconstituents previously isolated from the Amaryllidaceous plants Crinum bulbispermum (Burm.f.), Pancratium maritimum L., and Hippeastrum vittatum Herbert alongside the Asteraceous plant Centaurea scoparia Sieb. for therapy of NSCLC via in vitro cytotoxic, network pharmacology, and molecular docking analyses. Despite the in vitro and in vivo cytotoxic studies carried out on phytoconstituents from these plants in treating numerous cancer types, scarce information documenting their cytotoxic activity towards NSCLC cells is available. First, the compounds were tested for their in vitro cytotoxic activities and selectivity on human non-small cell lung cancer cells using disk diffusion assay. Compounds having significant potencies were promoted for network pharmacology analysis. Pharm mapper, Genecards, STRING, and KEGG databases were utilized for surfing target genes and pathways for these compounds, while for construction of compound-target-pathway (C-T-P) network, Cytoscape 3.7.1. freeware was used. Molecular docking and dynamics simulation were run for the top hit constituents against the most enriched molecular targets followed by in silico ADMET studies using Schrodinger
