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

Natural and synthetic retinoids are derivatives of vitamin A that mediate different transcriptional activities. Synthesis of fluorescent probes can be a useful tool in cellular imaging and understanding different regulatory signaling pathways. In this study, new fluorescent synthetic retinoid analogues (3a, 3b, 4a, and 4b) were prepared and biologically screened against six different cancer and normal cell lines for assessment of their anticancer and fluorescent activities. A combination of biological assays, such as MTT, flow cytometry, gene and protein expression analysis, DNA fragmentation, and ATPase activity assays, as well as in-silico and ADME studies, was performed. All new compounds showed anti-proliferative activity (2.09-132.70 µM) against different cancer cell types with minimal cytotoxicity (SI > 1), and the Caco-2 cancer cell line was selected for further in vitro investigation. All compounds showed cell cycle arrest at the SubG
