Formononetin triggers ferroptosis in triple-negative breast cancer cells by regulating the mTORC1/SREBP1/SCD1 pathway.
Article in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Introduction: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most malignant type of breast cancer, and its prognosis is still the worst. It is necessary to constantly explore the pathogenesis and effective therapeutic targets of TNBC. Formononetin is an active ingredient with anti-tumor effects that we screened earlier. The main purpose of this study is to elucidate mechanism of the inhibitory effect of Formononetin on TNBC. Methods: We conducted experiments through both Results: In our study, Formononetin exhibits significant inhibitory effects on the proliferation of triple TNBC, both Discussion: In conclusion, this study provides evidence that Formononetin exerts an anti-proliferative effect on triple-negative breast cancer by inducing ferroptosis. Moreover, the mTORC1-SREBP1 signal axis is identified as the primary mechanism through which formononetin exerts its therapeutic effects. These findings suggest that formononetin holds promise as a potential targeted drug for clinical treatment of TNBC.
