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

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a hereditary kidney disorder affecting individuals worldwide and is one of the leading causes of end-stage renal disease. Based on the shared pathogenic mechanisms between cancer and ADPKD, we explored the potential of repurposing dihydrotanshinone I (DHTS), a compound previously shown to possess anticancer properties, for ADPKD treatment. Using sulforhodamine B cytotoxic and real-time cell analysis, we evaluated the effects of various DHTS concentrations on WT 9-12 (ADPKD) cells for up to 72 hours. Our results revealed a concentration-dependent decrease in WT 9-12 cell viability, with minimal impact on HK-2 (normal kidney) cells. Notably, 32 μM DHTS was identified with an IC
