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

Introduction: The estrogenic and anti-estrogenic effects of endocrine disruptors were examined Methods: The Results: BPA exhibited a dose-dependent estrogenic activity in both 2D and 3D cultures, significantly influencing cell proliferation and gene expression of estrogen-regulated markers (pS2 and TGFβ3). In contrast, FUL displayed anti-estrogenic properties, effectively inhibiting the proliferative effects of E2, thereby highlighting the complex interactions between these compounds and the nERs pathways in human breast cancer cells. Discussion: Our findings indicate that E2 and BPA significantly increase pS2 expression while decreasing TGFβ3, and that FUL co-treatment reverses these effects. Therefore, the
