Cytotoxicity, Proapoptotic Activity and Drug-like Potential of Quercetin and Kaempferol in Glioblastoma Cells: Preclinical Insights.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. 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
Despite the increasing understanding of the pathogenesis of glioblastoma (GBM), treatment options for this tumor remain limited. Recently, the therapeutic potential of natural compounds has attracted great interest. Thus, dietary flavonoids quercetin (QCT) and kaempferol (KMF) were investigated as potential cytostatic agents in GBM. Moreover, the physicochemical properties of QCT and KMF, determining their bioavailability and therapeutic efficiency, were evaluated. We proved that both polyphenols significantly reduced the viability of GBM cells. We also demonstrated that both QCT and KMF evoked the cytotoxic effect in T98G cells via induction of apoptotic cell death as shown by increased activity of caspase 3/7 and caspase 9 together with an overexpression of the cleaved form of PARP. Apoptosis was additionally accompanied by the activation of stress responses in QCT- and KMF-treated cells. Both polyphenols caused oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, as demonstrated by the increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), deregulated expressions of superoxide dismutases (SOD2 and
