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

Niosomes are promising nanocarriers for improving the stability, bioavailability, and delivery of plant-derived bioactive compounds. This study aimed to prepare and physicochemically characterize niosomes loaded with Ocimum basilicum L. extract and evaluate their anticancer and metastasis-related effects in human ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells. The niosomes were characterized using DLS, SEM, FTIR, and in vitro release analysis, showing a mean particle size of 256.2 ± 0.21 nm, PDI of 0.265 ± 0.007, zeta potential of -35.4 ± 0.3 mV, and encapsulation efficiency of 85.2 ± 0.6%. Cytotoxicity was assessed by MTT assay after 24, 48, and 72 h, and the 72 h IC
