Kaempferol induces apoptosis through the MAPK pathway and regulates JNK-mediated autophagy in MC-3 cells.

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
This study sought to determine the anticancer effect of kaempferol, a glycone-type flavonoid glycoside with various pharmacological benefits, on human oral cancer MC-3 cells. In vitro studies comprised a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, annexin V and propidium iodide staining, western blotting analysis, and acridine orange staining, while the in vivo studies entailed a xenograft model, hematoxylin and eosin staining, and TdT-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labelling. In vitro, kaempferol reduced the rate of survival of MC-3 cells, mediated intrinsic apoptosis, increased the number of acidic vesicular organelles, and altered the expression of autophagy-related proteins. Further, treatment with the autophagy inhibitors revealed that the induced autophagy had a cytoprotective effect on apoptosis in kaempferol-treated MC-3 cells. Kaempferol also decreased the expression of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase and increased that of phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK) and phosphorylated p38 kinase in MC-3 cells, suggesting the occurrence of mitogen-activated protein kinase-mediated apoptosis and JNK-mediated autophagy. In vivo, kaempferol reduced tumor growth inducing apoptosis and autophagy. These results showed that kaempferol has the potential use as an adjunctive agent in treating oral cancer.
