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

Naringenin is a natural bioactive flavonoid with a wide spectrum of biological activities, including anti-carcinogenic ability. Our study aimed to investigate the effect of naringenin on ovarian cancer (OC) progression. Naringenin was input into PharmMapper and SwissTargetPrediction databases to predict its targets, and OC-related targets were obtained using MalaCards and GEPIA databases, which were imported into online Venn tool to identify the common targets. B-cell lymphoma-2 like 1 (BCL2L1) expression in OC tissues and cells was detected using GEPIA and HPA databases, qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis. The prognostic and diagnostic values of BCL2L1 in OC were determined using Kaplan-Meier plotter tool and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, respectively. Cell proliferation was evaluated using CCK-8 and EdU incorporation assays. Cell apoptosis was determined using TUNEL and caspase-3 activity assays. Effect of naringenin on the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) pathway was evaluated by Western blot analysis. BCL2L1 was identified as the candidate target of naringenin against OC. BCL2L1 was upregulated in OC tissues and cells. Naringenin decreased BCL2L1 expression and inactivated the PI3K/Akt pathway in OC cells. Naringenin inhibited cell proliferation and increased the apoptotic rate in OC cells, while these effects were partially abolished by BCL2L1 overexpression and treatment with 740Y-P, a PI3K activator. In conclusion, naringenin exerted an anti-tumor effect on OC progression via inactivation of the PI3K/Akt/BCL2L1 pathway.
