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

The anticancer potential of juglone, a naphthoquinone derived from walnut trees, has been extensively studied; however, its hydrophobicity and toxicity obstruct its therapeutic applications. This study aimed to overcome these challenges by encapsulating juglone into poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles and evaluating their antiproliferative and apoptotic effects on HeLa cells. Juglone nanoparticles (JNP) were obtained by single emulsion solvent evaporation method. Its key physicochemical properties, such as particle size, zeta potential, drug loading, release yield, and encapsulation efficiency values were calculated as 207.45 ± 1.67 nm, -24.12 ± 2.21 mV, 47.80, 66.90 and 90.12%, respectively. JNP's antiproliferative effects were compared to those of free juglone on HeLa cells. The calculated IC
