Genistein promotes apoptosis of lung cancer cells through the IMPDH2/AKT1 pathway.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
objectiveLung cancer (LC) is a clinically challenging cancer. Genistein is a natural isoflavone product with anti-tumor effects. This study aims to investigate the effect of genistein on A549 cell apoptosis, to provide more experimental evidence for clinical treatment.
methodsReal-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, western blotting, molecular docking, and target prediction methods were performed to detect the effect of genistein on LC cells. Cell viability of A549 treated by genistein was measured by a CCK-8 assay. The A549 cell apoptosis after genistein treatment was detected by flow cytometry.
resultsGenistein promoted the apoptosis of LC cells in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. In addition, the low expression of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase-2 (IMPDH2) inhibited the effect of genistein on LC cells. By predicting IMPDH2 LC-related apoptosis genes and finding the closely related gene protein kinase B (AKT1), it was found that the highly expressed AKT1 inhibited the effect of genistein on LC cell apoptosis and viability.
conclusionGenistein may be a promising treatment for LC.
