RETRACTION: Rotenone Restrains the Proliferation, Motility and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition of Colon Cancer Cells and the Tumourigenesis in Nude Mice via PI3K/AKT Pathway.
Article in Clinical and experimental pharmacology & physiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
retractionW. Xue, S. Men, and R. Liu, "Rotenone Restrains the Proliferation, Motility and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition of Colon Cancer Cells and the Tumourigenesis in Nude Mice via PI3K/AKT Pathway," Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology 47, no. 8 (2020): 1484-1494. https://doi.org/10.1111/1440-1681.13320. The above article, published online on 13 April 2020, in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Yang Yang; and John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd. A third party informed the publisher that images in Figures 3D, 6A, 6D and 7A were duplicated from other articles by different author groups, some of which were used in a different scientific context. The report also detailed duplicated images within this article between Figures 2A, 4C, and 5C. Additional investigation by the journal also detected duplications of images between figures 1H and 2E and between Figures 4E and 6F. The authors did not respond to an inquiry by the publisher regarding these concerns. The retraction has been agreed to because the evidence of image duplication across different articles, each of which describe different experimental conditions, as well as image duplication within the article, fundamentally compromises the editors' confidence in the conclusions presented. The authors did not respond to our notice regarding the retraction.
