Structural and in vitro anticancer properties of the kaempferol-lactoferrin complex.
Article in Food science & nutrition, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Lactoferrin and polyphenols are common natural functional compounds. Their interactions and the consequential alterations in functional activity have received widespread attention. The work aimed to investigate the interaction between lactoferrin and kaempferol, as well as evaluate the in vitro anticancer properties of the lactoferrin-kaempferol complex. The results of the spectra experiments revealed that lactoferrin and kaempferol are capable of forming complexes to quench the endogenous fluorescence of lactoferrin. Further insight into the binding mechanism was gained through molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. These analyses suggest that both hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding are essential factors in the interaction between lactoferrin and kaempferol. Furthermore, the MTT assay and apoptosis by flow cytometry were conducted, revealing a synergistic effect of kaempferol and lactoferrin on the inhibition of HeLa cell proliferation. The findings from this investigation could improve our understanding of lactoferrin's interaction with polyphenols and the role of the lactoferrin-kaempferol complex in inhibiting cancer cell proliferation.
