1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Recent research has highlighted the therapeutic potential of citrus-derived dietary 5,6,7,4'-tetramethoxyflavone (TMF) against HeLa cancer. Our study aims to elucidate its mechanisms of action through proteomics analysis, network pharmacology, and molecular docking. The results suggested that TMF demonstrated efficacy by upregulating CD40, CD40L, Fas, Fas-L, HSP27, HSP60, IGFBP-1, IGFBP-2, IGF-1sR, Livin, p21, p27, sTNFR2, TRAILR2, TRAILAR3, TRAILR4, XIAP, p-Sre, p-Stat1, p-Stat2 p-c-Fos, p-SMAD1, p-SMAD2, p-SMAD4, p-SMAD5, p-IκBα, p-MSK1, p-NFκB, p-TAK1, p-TBK1, p-ZAP70, and p-MSK2, while downregulating p-EGFR, p-ATF2, p-cJUN, p-HSP27, p-JNK, and p-GSK3A. These targets are primarily involved in MAPK, apoptosis, and TNF signaling pathways. Notably, p21, p27, EGFR, SMAD4, JNK, ATF2, and c-JUN merged as pivotal targets contributing to TMF's anti-cancer efficacy against HeLa cells. This study is first to delineate the potential signaling pathways and core targets of TMF in treating of HeLa cancer, paving the way for further exploration of TMF's medical potential.
