Adiponectin receptor agonist AdipoRon induces apoptotic cell death and suppresses proliferation in human ovarian cancer cells.
Article in Molecular and cellular biochemistry, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
We tested the hypothesis that stimulation of adiponectin receptors with the synthetic agonist AdipoRon suppresses proliferation and induces apoptotic death in human high grade serous ovarian tumor cell lines and in ex vivo primary tumors, mediated by activation of 5' AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and inhibition of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR). We determined the effect of AdipoRon on high grade serous ovarian tumor cells lines (OVCAR3, OVCAR4, A2780) and ex vivo primary tumor tissue. Western blotting analysis was performed to examine changes in activation of AMPK and mTOR signaling and flow cytometry was utilized to examine changes in cell cycle progression. Immunofluorescence of cleaved caspase-3 positive cells and flow cytometry of annexin V positive cells were used to determine changes in apoptotic response. The CyQUANT proliferation assay was used to assess cell proliferation. AdipoRon treatment increased AMPK phosphorylation (OVCAR3 P = 0.01; A2780 P = 0.02) but did not significantly alter mTOR activity. AdipoRon induced G1 cell cycle arrest in OVCAR3 (+ 12.1%, P = 0.03) and A2780 (+ 12.0%, P = 0.002) cells. OVCAR3 and OVCAR4 cells treated with AdipoRon underwent apoptosis based on cleaved caspase-3 and annexin V staining. AdipoRon treatment resulted in a dose dependent decrease in cell number versus vehicle treatment in OVCAR3 (-61.2%, P < 0.001), OVCAR4 (-79%, P < 0.001), and A2780 (-56.9%, P < 0.001). Ex vivo culture of primary tumors treated with AdipoRon resulted in an increase in apoptosis measured with cleaved caspase-3 immunohistochemistry. AdipoRon induces activation of AMPK and exhibits an anti-tumor effect in ovarian cancer cell lines and primary tumor via a mTOR-independent pathway.
