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.
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) remains a major global health challenge, ranking as the third most common malignancy and the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. This study aimed to evaluate a novel series of pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazine and pyrazolo[4,3-e]tetrazolo[1,5-b][1,2,4]triazine sulfonamides as potential anticancer agents, with a focus on their cytotoxic and mechanistic effects against CRC cell lines. Incorporation of the tetrazole ring significantly increased cytotoxic activity (up to 50-fold) and selectivity (3.6-9.2-fold) compared to non-tetrazole analogues (2.2-3.3). Pyrazolo-tetrazolo-triazine derivatives exhibited IC₅₀ values ranging from 0.12 to 1.1 µM and demonstrated enhanced solubility and consistent biological activity. Selected derivatives (MM134, MM136, MM137, MM139) induced marked DNA damage and inhibition of cell proliferation, with cell cycle analysis confirming apoptotic and necrotic features depending on the compound and exposure time. Electrochemical analyses confirmed direct interactions between MM compounds and double-stranded DNA. Notably, MM137 was the potent inducer of cell death in both HCT-116 and HT-29 3D spheroids at concentrations as low as 5 µM, comparable to the most pre-clinically advanced MM129 derivative. In conclusion, the study highlights pyrazolo[4,3-e]tetrazolo[1,5-b][1,2,4]triazine sulfonamides as promising anticancer candidates with potent cytotoxicity, favorable selectivity, and potential multimodal mechanisms of action.
