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

Carotenoids, a diverse group of naturally occurring pigments, have gained attention for their potential anticancer properties. Among them, bacterioruberin (BR), a rare C50 carotenoid, has shown promising bioactivities. This study evaluates the antiproliferative and cytotoxic effects of a bacterioruberin-rich carotenoid extract (BRCE) derived from Haloferax (H.) mediterranei on myeloid leukaemia (ML) cell lines, including chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML) and acute myelogenous leukaemia (AML) models. Using MTT assay, Annexin V/PI and AO/EtBr staining, CFDA-SE proliferation assay, PI-based cell cycle analysis, and H
