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

Breast cancer ranks first among female malignant tumors and is the largest cancer worldwide. Recently, research on chiral metal-based complexes for cancer treatment has significantly increased. This study synthesized an L-copper(II) complex Cu-1 and a pair of chiral nickel(II) complexes Ni-1 (L-type) and Ni-2 (D-type). The antiproliferative activities of Cu-1, Ni-1, and Ni-2 against female malignant tumor cells (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, SKOV3, Hela) were evaluated. Among them, the L-type complexes Cu-1 and Ni-1 exhibited superior bioactivity compared to the D-type Ni-2. Further mechanistic studies demonstrated that Cu-1 and Ni-1 could effectively inhibit the growth of MCF-7 cells. Additionally, in vivo experiments in nude mice verified that Cu-1 could exert anti-tumor effects through the synergistic action of multiple pathways. In summary, Cu-1 and Ni-1 possess multiple functions including anti-tumor angiogenesis, anti-inflammatory, apoptosis, and copper-induced death, providing theoretical reference for the development of breast cancer drugs.
