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

backgroundAmong reproductive cancers, ovarian cancer leads to the highest female mortality rate. Fisetin, a natural flavonoid, exerts pharmacological effects, inhibiting cancer growth with various origins. Although multiple mechanisms are involved in regulating cell death, it is still unclear whether and how fisetin exhibits anticancer effects on ovarian cancer. The present study aimed to evaluate cell apoptotic and necroptotic processes occurring in ovarian carcinoma (OC) cell lines induced by fisetin.

methodsCell growth was evaluated by MTT assay in OC cell lines treated with or without fisetin. Annexin V/propidium iodide staining followed by flow cytometry was used to characterize fisetin-induced cell death. The apoptotic process was suppressed by z-VAD intervention, and cell necroptosis was assessed by introducing ZBP1-knockdown OC cell lines coupled with fisetin intervention. The expression of necroptosis-related mediators and the migration capability of the respective cells were evaluated by Western blotting and in vitro cell invasion assay.

resultFisetin successfully reduced cell growth in both OC cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. Both apoptosis and necroptosis were induced by fisetin. Suppression of the cell apoptotic process failed to enhance the proliferation of fisetin-treated cells. The induced cell death and robust expression of the necroptotic markers RIP3 and MLKL were alleviated by knocking down the expression of the ZBP1 protein in both OC cell lines.

conclusionThe present study provided in vitro evidence supporting the involvement of both apoptosis and necroptosis in fisetin-induced OC cell death, while ZBP1 regulates the necroptotic process via the RIP3/MLKL pathway.
