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 continues to be a major cause of mortality worldwide, emphasizing the critical need for innovative and more effective anticancer drugs with enhanced efficacy and minimal side effects. In response, researchers have begun investigating the largely unexplored metabolites produced by fungal endophytes for the development of novel therapeutics. In this regard, the present work aims to assess the anticancer potential of the fungal endophytes of forest plants (local forest in Wrocław, Poland), which remains yet unexamined. Fungal endophytes were isolated from their host plants, purified, grown and their extracts were separately prepared from cell-free culture media and biomass. The prepared extracts were tested for their cytotoxic potentials against human melanoma, breast adenocarcinoma, lung carcinoma, and normal cell lines using the MTT-based assay. Cultures of these isolates were exposed to several doses of
