Melanoma Cells Exposed to Clomiphene Citrate Respond With Cell Cycle Arrest and Reduced Invasiveness.
Article in Journal of applied toxicology : JAT, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Epidemiological studies have suggested that clomiphene citrate (CC) exposure may increase the risk of malignant melanoma, but mechanisms are unknown. We investigated the effects of CC on melanoma cell line A375. Cells were treated with CC at 2, 20, 200, and 2000 ng/mL, followed by assessment of cell viability and metabolism, cell cycle, migration, and expression of genes associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition and mitochondrial oxidative stress. At 48 h, 2000-ng/mL CC reduced cell viability by 80% (p < 0.0001), induced early G1-phase arrest (p < 0.0001), and impaired cell migration. Gene expression analysis revealed decreased N-cadherin/CDH2 (p < 0.05) and SOD2 (p < 0.01) gene expression in the presence of CC, suggesting antimetastatic and prooxidant effects. These results indicate that direct exposure to CC does not promote aggressive melanoma cell behavior in vitro.
