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

Recent studies have identified novel cardiac glycosides from natural sources with potential anti-tumor properties. Toxicarioside H (ToxH) is a novel cardiac glycoside isolated by our collaborative research team. However, its ability to induce ferroptosis in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells has not been investigated. Therefore, this study evaluates whether ToxH has the capability of inducing ferroptosis and elucidates the underlying molecular mechanisms. Treatment with ToxH led to dose- and time-dependent growth inhibition in BT-549 and MDA-MB-468 cells. Flow cytometry analysis and lactate dehydrogenase assay revealed that ToxH induced various forms of cell death in both BT-549 and MDA-MB-468 cells. Examination through transmission electron microscopy, along with flow cytometry analysis of 7-AAD-stained dead cells and ferroptosis markers BODIPY-C11 and Fe
