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 a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Euphol, a triterpenoid alcohol derived from Euphorbia tirucalli, has demonstrated anti-tumor activity in various cancer cell lines; however, its effects in advanced preclinical models remain underexplored. Here, we aimed to investigate the biological and chemopreventive potential of euphol across multiple colorectal experimental systems. Euphol exposure significantly reduced cell viability and colony formation in a dose-dependent manner in a panel of commercial and primary CRC cell lines. In 3D mouse-derived organoids (MDOs), euphol decreased organoid viability while preserving immune cell populations (CD4 +, CD8 +, NK) in co-culture with murine splenocytes. Immunoblotting revealed no modulation of PKC isoforms phosphorylation. In vivo, euphol suppressed intestinal tumor development in the Apc
