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

contextTotal flavonoids from

objectiveThis study aimed to elucidate the inhibitory effects and underlying mechanisms of TFLS on breast cancer metastasis. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe antiproliferative, migratory, and invasive activities of breast cancer cells following TFLS treatment were evaluated using CCK-8, wound-healing, and transwell assays. The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) biomarkers were evaluated

resultsTFLS suppressed the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells, with IC DISCUSSION AND

conclusionTFLS effectively inhibits breast cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion
