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

Penicilazaphilone C (PAC) is a novel azaphilone isolated by our research team. While known for its antitumor properties, the potential of PAC to trigger ferroptosis in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells remains unexplored. This study aims to assess the ferroptotic induction capability of PAC and elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms. Our results showed that treatment with PAC demonstrated a dose- and time-dependent inhibition of growth in MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-436 cells. Flow cytometry analysis and lactate dehydrogenase assay revealed various forms of cell death induced by PAC in both cell lines. Specifically, flow cytometry analyzed 7-AAD-stained dead cells, and ferroptosis markers, such as lipid peroxidation BODIPY-C11 and Fe
