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

Silymarin (SLM) is a bioactive, water-insoluble flavonoid reported against different types of cancer. In the present research, the SLM inclusion complex was prepared by the freeze-drying method using different cyclodextrins. The phase solubility study was performed to assess the stability constant and complexation efficiency. The prepared SLM inclusion complexes (F1, F2, and F3) were characterized for different physicochemical and in vitro parameters. Based on the results, the selected inclusion complex (F2) was converted to a topical gel. Finally, it was evaluated for antioxidant, protein denaturation, and cell viability assay (B16F10; skin cancer cell line). The in vitro results were further confirmed by performing a molecular docking study. The phase solubilization results showed the formation of a stable complex with a stability constant value of 548 mol L
