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

Three previously undescribed sesquiterpenoids, named inujaponins J-L (1, 3, and 4), were isolated from the aerial parts of Inula japonica Thunb., together with nine known sesquiterpenoids (2 and 5-12). The structures of the new sesquiterpenoids were characterized using high-resolution mass spectrometry and comprehensive one-dimensional and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyses. Additionally, the absolute configurations of 1, 3, and 4 were determined by comparing the experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism spectra. Furthermore, the carbon-13 NMR data for 5 and 6 are reported for the first time in the present study. Structurally, inujaponin J was a rare presilphiperfolane sesquiterpenoid possessing a 5/5/6 tricyclic system, inujaponin K was an ivaxillarane sesquiterpenoid containing a 3/5/6 tricycle carbon skeleton, and inujaponin L was an eremophilane sesquiterpenoid possessing an α-substituted acrylic acid unit. Compounds 6, 7, and 12 had remarkable cytotoxic activities against K-562, A-549, HepG-2, MDA-MB-231, and SW-480 cancer cell lines with IC
