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

backgroundSolamargine (SM) has been shown to play anti-tumor role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of SM in HCC progression deserve further exploration.

methodsHCC cell proliferation and apoptosis were assessed by cell counting kit 8 assay, colony formation assay and flow cytometry. Ferroptosis was evaluated by detecting the levels of Fe

resultsSM could potentially suppress HCC cell growth by inducing ferroptosis. MTCH1 was highly expressed in HCC tissues and cells, and its silencing inhibited HCC cell proliferation, promoted apoptosis and ferroptosis. MTCH1 expression was reduced by SM, and its overexpression reversed SM-induced HCC cell apoptosis and ferroptosis. Furthermore, STAT1 facilitated MTCH1 transcription and promoted its expression. Besides, STAT1 expression could be reduced by SM, and its overexpression abolished the decreasing effect of SM on MTCH1 expression. In vivo, SM suppressed HCC tumor growth by reducing MTCH1 expression.

conclusionSM promoted HCC cell apoptosis and ferroptosis via the STAT1/MTCH1 axis.
