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.
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
Zerumbone, along with its various derivatives and structurally related compounds, has attracted significant scientific interest due to its broad-spectrum pharmacological properties, particularly its anticancer potential. In this study, novel zerumbone-secondary amide hybrids were successfully designed and synthesized with high yields using both conventional and ultrasonic methods. Reactions performed under ultrasonic conditions required significantly shorter reaction times than those conducted without ultrasound while maintaining comparable product yields. The cytotoxicity of the synthesized derivatives was evaluated against four human cancer cell lines: hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2), lung carcinoma (A549), acute leukemia (HL-60), and gastric carcinoma (AGS). Most derivatives exhibited significant cytotoxic activity, with those derived from azazerumbone 2 demonstrating greater potency than those derived from azazerumbone 1. The incorporation of secondary amide groups has been confirmed to enhance the cytotoxic activity of the newly synthesized derivatives against cancer cells. Notably, compounds 4c, 4g, and 4i displayed the strongest cytotoxicity across all tested cell lines, with IC
