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

Coumarins are known to provide promising scaffolds for the development of new anticancer drugs, yet their multitarget biological profiles remain insufficiently explored. This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of four newly synthesized 4-substituted 7-hydroxycoumarin derivatives C1-C4, highlighting their combined antiproliferative, enzyme-inhibitory, and pharmacokinetic properties. The compounds were tested for their cytotoxic effects on A549 lung carcinoma cells and CCD-18Co fibroblasts, inhibition of topoisomerase I (Topo I), and binding interactions with human serum albumin (HSA). Derivatives C1, C2, and C4 showed selective suppression of A549 metabolic activity and proliferation, while exhibiting minimal toxicity toward non-cancerous fibroblasts. All compounds inhibited Topo I to varying degrees, with C1 displaying the highest potency, indicating that specific hydroxyl group arrangements are crucial for enzyme inhibition. Fluorescence spectroscopy and molecular docking revealed moderate to high HSA affinity (10
