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

Akt, a serine/threonine kinase, is a critical regulator in many cellular processes including cell growth, proliferation, and apoptosis. In this study, we found that myricetin, a typical flavonol existing in many fruits and vegetables, could directly target Akt to inhibit cell transformation. Binding assay revealed that myricetin bound to Akt directly by competing with ATP. In vitro and ex vivo data confirmed that myricetin inhibited the phosphorylation and kinase activity of Akt. Molecular modeling suggested that myricetin easily docks to the ATP-binding site of Akt with hydrogen bonds. Signaling analysis data further demonstrated that myricetin inhibited Akt-mediated activator protein-1 (AP-1) transactivation, cyclin D1 expression and cell transformation. Overall, our results indicate that Akt is a direct target for myricetin to inhibit cell transformation.
