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

Colorectal cancer is a major global health challenge, with current treatments limited by toxicity and resistance. Thiazole derivatives, known for their bioactivity, are emerging as promising alternatives. Juglone (5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) is a naturally occurring compound with known anticancer properties, and its incorporation into thiopyrano[2,3-d]thiazole scaffolds may enhance their therapeutic potential. This study examined the cytotoxicity of thiopyrano[2,3-d]thiazoles and their effects on apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells. Les-6547 and Les-6557 increased the population of ROS-positive HT-29 cancer cells approximately 10-fold compared with control cells (36.3% and 38.5% vs. 3.8%, respectively), potentially contributing to various downstream effects. Elevated ROS levels were associated with cell cycle arrest, inhibition of DNA biosynthesis, and reduced cell proliferation. A significant shift in the cell cycle distribution was observed, with an increase in S-phase (from 17.3% in the control to 34.7% to 51.3% for Les-6547 and Les-6557, respectively) and G2/M phase (from 24.3% to 39.9% and 28.8%). Additionally, Les-6547 and Les-6557 inhibited DNA biosynthesis in HT-29 cells, with IC
