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

A new family of proline-derived N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) gold(I) complexes was synthesized and fully characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and HRMS analysis. The incorporation of a proline-based fragment into the NHC scaffold enabled the generation of both neutral and cationic Au(I) complexes with distinct electronic and steric properties. Stability studies demonstrated that the complexes remain stable under physiological-like conditions for at least 48 h. Biological evaluation against A549 lung adenocarcinoma and MDA-MB-231 triple-negative breast cancer cells revealed that the cationic complexes 3 and 4 display remarkable cytotoxic activity, with IC
