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

Introduction: Lung cancer (LC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with poor prognosis and limited therapeutic efficacy due to drug resistance and off-target effects. Combining natural compounds with conventional chemotherapy is emerging as a promising strategy to enhance anticancer activity while reducing toxicity. Methods: We investigated the effects of an olive fruit extract from Results: Co-treatment with OE and chemotherapeutic agents significantly reduced cell viability and induced non-canonical autophagy, indicated by increased LC3BII and decreased Beclin-1 expression, without activating classical apoptotic markers. Gene expression analysis revealed downregulation of AGR2 and upregulation of GRP78, suggesting modulation of ER stress. ROS levels decreased, and Nrf2 nuclear translocation confirmed activation of the antioxidant response. Discussion: These findings indicate that OE potentiates the therapeutic effects of 5-FU and CIS by promoting alternative cell death pathways and modulating oxidative and ER stress responses. Our results support the potential use of
