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

The lipopeptides produced by Bacillus subtilis have anti-cancer potential. We had previously identified a secondary metabolite of B. subtilis strain Z15 (BS-Z15), which has an operon that regulates lipopeptide synthesis, and also demonstrated that the fermentation products of this strain exerted antioxidant and pro-immune effects. The purpose of this study was to investigate in vitro and in vivo the anticancer effects of BS-Z15 secondary metabolites (BS-Z15 SMs) on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. BS-Z15 SMs significantly inhibited H22 cell-derived murine xenograft tumor growth without any systemic toxicity. In addition, BS-Z15 SMs decreased the viability of H22 cells and BEL-7404 cells in vitro with respective IC
