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

The cytotoxic and apoptotic properties of four bioactive natural compounds, the prenylated α-pyronephloroglucinol heterodimer arzanol (ARZ), the methoxylated flavones eupatilin (EUP) and xanthomicrol (XAN), and the sesquiterpene zerumbone (ZER), were compared in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells to assess their potential as neuroblastoma-specific therapeutics. EUP, XAN, and ZER (2.5-100 μM) exerted marked significant cytotoxicity (MTT assay) and morphological changes after 24 h of incubation, following the order XAN > ZER > EUP > ARZ (no toxic effect). The propidium iodide fluorescence assay (PI, red fluorescence) and NucView
