Article in Frontiers in molecular biosciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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: Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, underscoring the need for effective therapies with lower toxicity. Probiotic-derived metabolites (postbiotics) have emerged as promising anticancer components with immunomodulatory and antiproliferative effects. Methods: Cell-Free Supernatant (CFS) from Results: Growth under microaerophilic conditions yielded a sterile CFS that was subsequently profiled by GC-MS. Cytotoxicity was assessed by MTT assay, while apoptosis and cell-cycle distribution were evaluated by flow cytometry. GC-MS showed more than 65 chromatographic peaks, and 28 major compounds were tentatively identified by NIST-library matching; diketopiperazines accounted for approximately 45% of the total identified peak area. The study-strain CFS reduced HT-29 cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner, with an estimated IC50 of 14.2 micrograms/mL expressed as total lyophilized solids. Annexin V-FITC/PI flow cytometry showed 47.6 ± 2.9% early apoptotic, 2.3 ± 0.8% late apoptotic, 2.3 ± 0.6% necrotic, and 47.8 ± 3.2% viable cells after treatment. Treated cells were distributed as 47.3% G1, 38.9% S, 3.22% G2/M, and 2.60% sub-G1; because reliable quantitative control data were unavailable, phase-specific arrest could not be established. Conclusion: The study-strain CFS showed concentration-dependent in vitro cytotoxic and pro-apoptotic activity against HT-29 cells. The activity may be associated with the partial metabolite profile identified by GC-MS, but specific active compounds and molecular pathways were not established. The cell-cycle findings are descriptive because reliable quantitative control data were unavailable. Further studies using processed-medium controls, non-transformed colonic cells, additional cancer cell lines, orthogonal viability assays, mechanistic markers, and activity-guided fractionation are required.
