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

Introduction: Lung cancer is considered to be the world's leading malignancy in morbidity and mortality, and despite great efforts to treat it no effective treatment has yet been found. Isoliensinine is a natural small-molecule drug with potent anti-tumor activity in several cancer cell lines. Here, we have shown that Isoliensinine exhibits anti-tumor activity against lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) both Methods: The biological functions of Isoliensinine in LUAD cells were investigated using CCK8 assay, colony formation, transwell assays and flow cytometry assays. DARTS assay was used to validate Isoliensinine targets screened by site prediction and molecular docking. The Results: The IC Discussion: Isoliensinine exerts antitumor effects through inhibition of APEX1 driven ROS production, therefore, Isoliensinine may represent a new drug candidate to be used to treat LUAD.
