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

purposeTo evaluate the effects of quercetin on proliferation, invasion and migration of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) from adenomyosis patients.

methodsPrimary ectopic ESCs (EESCs) and eutopic ESCs (EuESCs) were obtained and purified from patients undergoing total hysterectomy for adenomyosis and identified by immunocytochemistry staining. The cytotoxicity and inhibition rate were determined by CCK-8 assay to obtain the IC

resultsBoth EESCs and EuESCs were characterized with strongly positive staining for vimentin and almost negative for cytokeratin. Quercetin inhibited the viability of EESCs and EuESCs in a dose- and time-dependent manner, with an IC

conclusionQuercetin can inhibit the proliferation of EESCs in adenomyosis and reduce their mobility and invasiveness. These inhibitory effects may be related to the downregulation of MMP-2, MMP-9, Fascin, and Erzin proteins.
