Cyclovirobuxine D inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma growth by inducing ferroptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells.
Article in Discover oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one cancer with high death rates. Nowadays, there are no effective drugs to treat it. Cyclovirobuxine D (CVB-D) is the primary ingredient of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) Buxus microphylla. Here, we try to explore the impacts of CVB-D on human HCC cells and explain the potential mechanisms.
methodsHepG2 and Huh-7 cells were used for our experiments. The cell viability and half inhibitory concentration (IC50) were detected by MTT assays. The apoptosis ratio was examined by Annexin V-FITC/7AAD staining and flow cytometry (FCM). The Fe
resultsThe cell viability could be inhibited by CVB-D in HepG2 and Huh-7 cells. The IC50 value of CVB-D on HepG2 and Huh-7 cells are 91.19 and 96.29 µM at 48 h, and 65.60 and 72.80 µM at 72 h. FCM showed that the apoptosis rate was increased by CVB-D in HepG2 and Huh-7 cells. Next, ferrous ion content assays showed that the level of Fe
conclusionCVB-D suppresses the growth in HCC cells through ferroptosis.
