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

Background: Large cell lung carcinoma (LCLC) is an aggressive non-small cell lung cancer subtype. Mulberrofuran G (MG) from Methods: This study was conducted at the Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine and China Pharmaceutical University, Nanjing, China, from 2023 to 2025. Cell viability was assessed via 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT). Flow cytometry using annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)/propidium iodide (PI), 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA), and 5,5',6,6'-tetrachloro-1,1',3,3'-tetraethylbenzimidazolylcarbocyanine iodide (JC-1) measured apoptosis, cell cycle, ROS, and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). Western blot analyzed p21, cyclin B1, caspases3/7/9, cleaved caspases3/7/9, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), cleaved PARP, JAK2, p-JAK2, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and p-STAT3. Interactions were confirmed via docking, cellular thermal shift assay, and ADP-Glo. Results: MG suppressed proliferation (IC Conclusion: MG exerts anticancer effects against LCLC by inducing ROS accumulation and dual suppression of the JAK2/STAT3 pathway, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic candidate.
