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

Retinoblastoma is widely considered the most frequent primary intraocular malignancy during childhood. Xanthatin has been reported to selectively inhibit the proliferation of RB cells, but the underlying mechanism remains uncertain. In this study, human RB cells were treated with different doses of xanthatin, and then cell survival, cell apoptosis, and protein expression were assessed using CCK8 assays, flow cytometry, and western blotting to investigate the possible mechanism of xanthatin in RB cells. A human RB xenograft model was established to demonstrate the effect of xanthatin
