Differential Effects of Curcumin and Cordycepin on Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Cells: ROS-Mediated Cytotoxicity and Real-Time Morphological Analysis.
Article in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains a major clinical challenge, highlighting the need for novel therapeutic strategies. Natural bioactive compounds such as curcumin (Cu) and cordycepin (Co) have shown anticancer potential; however, their effects on cancer cell morphology and behavior remain incompletely characterized. This study assessed the individual and combined effects of Cu and Co on oral squamous cell carcinoma cells (OECM-1) and normal human gingival epithelial cells (HGEpiC) over 24 and 48 h. Metabolic activity, membrane integrity, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and inflammatory responses were evaluated using MTT, LDH, ROS-H
