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

introductionHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver malignancy and remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Despite recent advances in immunotherapy and targeted agents, treatment efficacy is frequently limited by tumor heterogeneity, drug resistance, and systemic toxicity. Natural products, particularly carotenoid-derived compounds, have emerged as promising multi-target anticancer agents. Xanthophylls, a class of oxygenated carotenoids, exhibit pleiotropic biological activities that are relevant to cancer therapy; however, their potential against HCC remains incompletely explored. This study aimed to systematically evaluate the anti-HCC potential of xanthophyll-rich extracts from

resultsMetabolomic analysis revealed a xanthophyll-dominated profile, with zeaxanthin and lutein as the major constituents, alongside fucoxanthin, astaxanthin, β-cryptoxanthin, β-carotene, and canthaxanthin. In silico predictions demonstrated high antineoplastic and pro-apoptotic activities, with strong involvement in the HIF-1, EGFR, PD-1/PD-L1, JAK-STAT, and mTOR signaling pathways. Molecular docking confirmed stable and high-affinity interactions of xanthophylls with EGFR, BCL-2, and mTOR. In vitro assays showed selective cytotoxicity against HCC cells, with IC
