Osthole Induces Apoptosis and Inhibits Proliferation, Invasion, and Migration of Human Cervical Carcinoma HeLa Cells.
Article in Evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine : eCAM, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeTo study the effect of osthole extract on proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis of human cervical carcinoma HeLa cells and investigate its underlying mechanism.
methodsHeLa cells were exposed to osthole at various concentrations. Cell viability, migration, and invasion were detected by MTT assay, scratch wound-healing assay, and invasion assay, respectively. The proportion of cells undergoing apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. Western blot and RT-qPCR were performed to determine changes in the expression of key factors in the Wnt/
resultsThe osthole extract effectively inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion potential of HeLa cells in a dose-dependent manner. The rate of apoptosis induction in HeLa cells treated with the osthole extract for 48 h was significantly higher than that of the untreated controls. Outcomes of the western blotting analysis and RT-qPCR showed that the expression of
conclusionOsthole could significantly inhibit the malignant behavior of HeLa cells and induce cellular apoptosis. Inactivation of the Wnt/
