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

This study investigates the cytotoxic effects of R. tridentata extracts on prostate cancer cells, providing insight into its potential therapeutic benefits and scientific validation for its traditional use in cancer treatment. The cytotoxicity of R. tridentata extracts was evaluated on prostate cancer cell lines (LNCaP and DU 145) using the MTT assay, with doxorubicin as a reference standard. Our findings demonstrated significant concentration- and time-dependent cytotoxic effects of the extracts on both cell lines (p < 0.0024 to p < 0.0002). Notably, the methanol extract exhibited potent cytotoxicity, with IC
