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

Current melanoma treatment results in adverse effects, prompting the use of phytochemicals as adjuvant therapy to reduce the reliance on synthetic drugs and combat drug resistance. This study investigated the in vitro effect of (3-(4-Dimethylamino-naphthelen-1-ylmethylene)-1, 3-hydroindol-2-one) (MAZ-51) and zingerone, a ginger derivative, on melanoma cell proliferation in B16-F10 melanoma and HaCaT human keratinocyte cell lines. The cells were treated with MAZ-51 (0.002-0.005 mg/mL) and zingerone (0.5-2 mg/mL) at 24, 48 and 72 h, as well as combined treatment (at IC
