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

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-neurotoxic, phytocannabinoid from cannabis with reported medicinal properties, including antiepileptic and anti-inflammatory activity. Several in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that CBD has antitumor potential against colorectal cancer (CRC), the third deadliest cancer in the world. However, as different mutations influence the antitumor effects and CBD can bind a variety of receptors, it is yet to be determined whether specific CRC mutations affect CBD's efficacy in treatment of CRC. To investigate this, we selected four CRC cell lines, including HCT116, HT-29, LS174T, and LS153, which harbor distinct mutations. Cells were treated with a range of concentrations of CBD to evaluate its cytotoxic effects and impact on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion by using a live-cell imaging system. IC
