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

In this study, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were developed using Laurus nobilis (LN) leaf extract, and their cytotoxic and antimigratory effects were evaluated in vitro to investigate their potential in cancer treatment and wound healing. AuNPs were synthesized by green reduction of HAuCl₄ using LN extract at room temperature. Characterization was carried out by UV-Vis, TEM, SEM, EDX, FTIR and DLS. Cytotoxicity was assessed by MTT assay in four cancer cell lines: A549, MDA-MB-231, SH-SY5Y, and L929. An in vitro wound healing assay using A549 cells was conducted to assess the antimigratory effects. Statistical analysis included IC₅₀ values, effect size (Cohen's d), AUC, and non-parametric testing. LN-AuNPs showed a sharp plasmon resonance peak (~ 540 nm), narrow size distribution (~ 69 nm), and minimal aggregation. Spectral and elemental data confirmed phytochemical-mediated reduction. LN-AuNPs significantly decreased cell viability in all tested lines, with the lowest IC₅₀ observed in L929 cells (0.02 µg/mL). All groups exhibited large effect sizes and statistical significance. Additionally, LN-AuNPs markedly inhibited cell migration in A549 cells, confirming their antimigratory potential. This is the first study to report both cytotoxic and wound-healing-inhibitory effects of LN-AuNPs. The findings highlight LN-AuNPs as promising green-synthesized nanoplatforms for integrated cancer treatment and regenerative medicine applications.
