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

Zoanthus sansibaricus is a marine invertebrate native to the Indian and North Pacific Oceans. A chemical investigation of Z. sansibaricus, cultured in an aquafarm, led to the isolation of two new zoanthamine derivatives, named 3β-hydroxyzoanthamine (1) and 3α-hydroxynorzoanthaminone (2), along with five known derivatives (3‒7). Their structures were elucidated through quantum chemical calculations and a detailed analysis of spectroscopic data, including mass, IR, and NMR spectra. New compounds 1 and 2 represent additional examples of the oxidation of zoanthamine derivatives. The potential photoprotective effect of all isolated alkaloids (1‒7) was evaluated against UVA-induced damage in human dermal fibroblasts. Among the tested compounds, only 26-norzoanthamine (4) significantly attenuated UVA-induced oxidative stress. Notably, this antioxidant activity did not translate into sustained cell viability protection at 72 hours post-irradiation, suggesting that the photoprotective mechanism of compound 4 is limited to acute oxidative stress attenuation.
