Anticancer Efficacy of Citrullus Colocynthis Oil as a Promising Agent in Suppressing Human Lung Adenocarcinoma A549 Cells.
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveLung adenocarcinoma is the most common respiratory system tumor worldwide. This type of tumor facing challenges such as multidrug resistance and low selectivity. The need for alternative therapeutic strategies motivates researchers to discover new approaches for tumor treatments. Previous studies indicate that phytochemicals may inhibit cancer development and progression.
methodsCitrullus colocynthis oil extraction was used as phytochemical therapy to inhibit cell proliferation, invasion, and enhanced cell death. The extracted oil was analyzed using GC-mass, and cell viability was assessed by MTT, apoptotic, and wound healing assay. In this study, human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cancer cell lines and human breast epithelial HBL-100 normal cell lines were used to test the efficiency of Citrullus colocynthis oil extraction on inhibiting lung cancer.
resultThe results demonstrated a significant cytotoxic effect of Citrullus Colocynthis oil extraction against cancer cells, with no observed effects on normal cells.
conclusionPhytotherapy may suppress human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cancer cell lines and offer a new strategy for future cancer therapy.
