β-Hydroxyisovaleryl-Shikonin Exerts an Antitumor Effect on Pancreatic Cancer Through the PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is marked with a low survival rate and lack of recognized effective treatment strategy. We investigated the antitumor effect of β-hydroxyisovaleryl-shikonin (β-HIVS) on PC and the associated working mechanism. Cell toxicity was determined using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Acridine Orange/Ethidium Bromide (AO/EB) double-fluorescent staining assay accompanied by flow cytometry was utilized to estimate cell apoptosis. Cell cycle, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and mitochondrial membrane potential were all evaluated using flow cytometry. Transwell and wound healing assays were performed to evaluate cell migration and invasion. Protein expression was analyzed by Western blots. A xenograft mouse model was employed to determine the antitumor effect of β-HIVS
