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

In this report, novel derivatives of betulinic acid were designed and synthesized by targeting the C-3-OH group and C-20 olefinic bond in an endeavour to develop potent antitumor agents. These analogs were screened for their anticancer activity against six different human cancer cell lines including breast cancer MCF-7, lung cancer A549, colon cancer HCT-116, leukemia MOLT-4, prostate carcinoma cell PC-3 and pancreatic cancer cell Miapaca-2 by MTT assay. Many derivatives displayed better cytotoxicity than the parent compound BA. More significantly compounds 9b, 9e, 10 and 11a were found to have more promising activity than BA. Compound 11a was the most potent analog with IC
