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

Background: Lung cancer (LC) is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 10% in advanced or metastatic disease. AOH1996 is a novel small molecule inhibitor of cancer-associated Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA). It disrupts DNA replication and repair by enhancing PCNA-RPB1 interactions, dissociating PCNA from transcribed chromatin, and inducing DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), resulting in selective toxicity of various cancer types. The anticancer effects of AOH1996 on LC remain unclear. Methods: In this study, the anticancer effect of AOH1996 was first examined on four non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells, namely, A549, LNM35, NCI-H358, and NCI-H460 cell lines using cellular viability assay. Subsequent Results: We demonstrated that AOH1996 significantly decreased NSCLC cells viability and colony growth Conclusion: Our findings highlight AOH1996 as a promising therapeutic agent for NSCLC management, with potent effects on cell survival, migration, invasion, and tumour growth.
