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

This study investigates the effect of Paracoccus sp. EGY7 carotenoids on the triple-negative breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB-231). The bacterial strain was isolated, and its carotenoids profile was analyzed via HPLC-DAD-MS. Cytotoxicity, migration tests and the expression of BAX and BCL-2 at the gene and protein levels were carried out to evaluate the therapeutic efficiency of the produced carotenoids. Molecular docking analysis estimated the binding affinity between zeaxanthin and BCL-2 protein. Chromatographic analysis revealed zeaxanthin as the major carotenoid (48.3%). The extract exhibited significant cytotoxicity against MDA-MB-231 cells with an IC
