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

Cancer incidence continues to increase every year. Scientists strive to search for new anticancer compounds to combat this disease. Appealingly, marine environmental niches are still an untapped scaffold for natural products with chemical and biomedical diversity. Hence, fungi isolated from the Red Sea sponge Spheciospongia vagabunda were explored. Two strains were purified from the sponge and identified, depending on 18 S rRNA gene sequence, as Aspergillus sp. (UR1) and Penicillium sp. (UR2). The obtained fungal extracts were submitted to LC-HR-ESI-MS metabolomics evaluation, which showed notable variation in the chemical profiles of both extracts. The cytotoxic activity was assessed against three cancer cell lines: HepG2 (hepatocellular carcinoma human), MCF7 (breast cancer) and CaCo-2 (human colon carcinoma), via MTT assay. UR1 extract displayed higher antiproliferative activity with IC
