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

Curvularins, a class of macrocyclic lactones, have cytotoxic, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Curvularin, a 12-membered macrolactone, was used as a scaffold to design and synthesize structurally modified analogues to investigate structure-activity relationships and improve biological efficacy. Three series of curvularin-based analogues, Cur-5H-OMe, Cur-4P-OMe, and Cur-OMe, were synthesized with the same core structure but different substituent sizes and positions. Nine representative derivatives were evaluated for anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antibacterial, and antifungal activities. In LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages, most compounds inhibited nitric oxide (NO) production in a concentration-dependent manner but exhibited cytotoxicity at high concentrations. Cytotoxicity assays against HaCaT cells and human cancer cell lines (HCT116, HeLa, and A375) revealed limited selectivity toward cancer cells. Antimicrobial evaluation indicated selective activity against the Gram-positive bacteria,
