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

In view of the concerning rise in the incidence of cancer, natural products are a valuable source for the development of novel therapies. Among phytochemicals, the pentacyclic triterpenoids betulinic (BA), ursolic (UA), and oleanolic (OA) acids, as well as their 3-oxo-derivatives, have attracted considerable attention because of their significant anticancer potential. However, their clinical use is restricted by poor bioavailability, highlighting the need for obtaining semisynthetic derivatives with optimized pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles. This study examined the biological effects of twelve new semisynthetic triterpenic and 3-oxo-triterpenic acid derivatives with methylphosphonate moieties of type C(17)-C(O)OCH
