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

Sesquiterpenoid dimers (SDs) from the genus Inula are well recognized for their structural diversity and antitumor potential. However, their ability to induce pyroptosis remains unexplored. In this work, DeepSAT-guided HSQC analysis was employed for the phytochemical investigation of I. japonica, leading to the isolation and characterization of 21 SDs, including 18 new compounds belonging to three skeleton classes. Among them, neoinujaponolide A (1) possesses an unprecedented 6/7/5 tricyclic skeleton, representing a structurally distinctive guaianolide-guaianolide dimer fused through C-2/C-2' and C-4/C-3' single bonds. While compound 1 represents the major structural novelty of this study, biological screening identified compound 17 as the most potent cytotoxic compound among the tested isolates; therefore, it was selected for further mechanistic investigation. Preliminary structure-activity relationship analysis suggested that the α,β-unsaturated lactone moiety, the Δ
