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

Gastric cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, emphasizing the need for novel therapeutic strategies. Actinobacteria are prolific producers of bioactive secondary metabolites with anticancer potential. In this study, we evaluated the antitumor activity of Streptomyces sp. M4 extract against the human gastric adenocarcinoma (AGS) cell line and explored its underlying mechanisms. The strain was cultured in starch casein broth, and metabolites were extracted using ethyl acetate. AGS cell were treated with the crude extract, and cytotoxicity was assessed using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, while apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. Gene expression was measured using real-time PCR, and Caspase-3/7 activity was determined via colorimetric assays. The MTT assay revealed potent cytotoxicity with an IC
