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 is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths, while its resistance to treatment continues to represent a major therapeutic challenge. In the present study, a series of phenothiazine derivatives, including hybrids containing a 1,2,3-triazole linker and the zidovudine (AZT) fragment, were synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer activity against colorectal cancer cell lines HCT116 and HT-29 as well as non-cancerous BEAS-2B cells. Cytotoxic activity was determined using the Alamar Blue assay, while the mechanisms of action were investigated by flow cytometric analysis of apoptosis, cell cycle progression, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Additionally, changes in the expression of genes associated with apoptosis, oxidative stress, and DNA damage response were analyzed by RT-qPCR. The obtained results demonstrated that AZT-containing derivatives exhibited stronger anticancer activity than non-conjugated phenothiazine analogs. Compounds
