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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, and the efficacy of conventional chemotherapy is frequently limited by systemic toxicity, chemoresistance, and tumor recurrence. Natural products derived from marine algae and plants have attracted increasing interest as multitarget adjuvant agents capable of modulating apoptosis, oxidative stress, and tumor-associated signaling pathways. In the present study, we evaluated the anticancer activity of commercially available formulations enriched in fucoxanthin, fucoidan, tocotrienols, astaxanthin, and apple polyphenols, either alone or in combination with doxorubicin (DOX), using two-dimensional and three-dimensional colorectal cancer models.
