Anticancer Potential of Quercetin on Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Scoping Review and Molecular Docking.
Article in European journal of dentistry, 2025. 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
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a type of cancer that has a low survival rate and high recurrence and metastasis rates. To date, there is still no effective treatment for OSCC. Various types of cancer, including OSCC, have reported quercetin to act as an anticancer agent, but there is no clear research data on how it may affect OSCC. To determine the anticancer potential of quercetin in OSCC, we conducted a scoping review, and to determine the interaction of quercetin with one of the proteins that plays a role in carcinogenesis, namely, BCL-2, we conducted molecular docking. The scoping review process was conducted based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews. The scoping review was searched by collecting articles related to the research topic in Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane, and EBSCOhost databases. All of the literature records found during the search were imported into the Mendeley software to remove duplication. Nine studies were generated after the titles and abstracts were reviewed according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. After the full-text screening, no studies were excluded, leaving nine publications determined to be eligible for inclusion in the scoping review. Quercetin showed effects on inhibiting cancer invasion, migration, proliferation, and many protein expressions, as well as increasing cell apoptosis. Molecular docking was done for quercetin and BCl-2 protein. Doxorubicin was utilized as a comparison ligand. The
