Anticancer potential of isoalantolactone in testicular cancer: an analysis of cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and signaling pathways.

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
Testicular cancer, a highly prevalent malignancy among young adults, has witnessed an alarming rise in recent decades. This study delves into the therapeutic potential of isoalantolactone (IATL), a natural product extracted from Inula helenium and Inula racemosa, against testicular cancer. Employing MTT assays and flow cytometry, we observed a dose-dependent reduction in cell viability and induction of cell cycle arrest at sub-G1 phase with increasing IATL concentrations. Furthermore, Annexin V/PI dual staining revealed IATL-induced apoptosis. Human Apoptosis Array analysis demonstrated IATL's influence on HIF-1α and TNF R1 expression, implicating its role in cancer cell growth and death regulation. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and pathway analysis highlighted the involvement of ferroptosis and HIF-1 signaling in IATL-mediated effects. Western blotting validated the downregulation of key proteins associated with apoptosis inhibition and activation, confirming IATL's potential as an anticancer agent. Moreover, IATL induced ferroptosis by modulating expression levels of GPX4, xCT, NRF2, and HO-1. Our findings shed light on IATL's multifaceted anticancer mechanisms, emphasizing its potential as a therapeutic candidate for testicular cancer.
