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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent cancer globally. TASK-1, encoded by the KCNK3 gene, is emerging as a putative target in cancer; it regulates resting membrane potential, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. A series of 27 novel xanthene derivatives, modified at position 9, were synthesized via azide coupling of 2-(9H-xanthen-9-yl)acetohydrazide with selected amines and amino acids, followed by hydrazine-mediated conversion to the corresponding hydrazides. The cytotoxic activity of selected compounds (
