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

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) presents significant therapeutic challenges due to its resistance to conventional treatments. Natural compounds with photodynamic properties, such as chlorophyll derivatives, offer potential for novel interventions. This study investigates the apoptotic effects of a chlorophyll-enriched green propolis compound activated by daylight-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) on RCC cells. A novel compound formulated from standardized ethanol extracts of Taiwanese green propolis, wheatgrass, and mulberry leaves was characterized using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Human RCC 786-O cells were treated with varying concentrations of the compound, with or without daylight PDT (570 nm). Cell viability was assessed via MTT assay, and median effective concentrations (EC
