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

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women. Doxorubicin (DOX) is the major chemotherapeutic agent for breast cancer treatment, but its efficacy is hindered by chemoresistance and dose-dependent toxicity. Overcoming these challenges requires novel therapeutic strategies that enhance DOX sensitivity while minimizing its adverse effects. Diallyl trisulfide (DATS), a natural organosulfur compound derived from garlic, has demonstrated anticancer potential, yet its role in enhancing DOX chemosensitivity remains unclear. The anticancer potential of the combination treatment was investigated using MTT, glucose uptake, and lactate production assays, Western blot, flow cytometry, TUNEL staining, transfection, and an
