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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a primary malignant neoplasm exhibiting a high mortality rate. Taxifolin is a naturally occurring flavonoid compound that exhibits a range of pharmacological properties. The effects of taxifolin on HCC remain largely unexplored. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the potential roles of taxifolin in the development and progression of HCC. In this study, CCK-8 assay was utilized to examine the impact of taxifolin on the cell viability. The copper ions level and the activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain were determined by the correspondent kits. The biological properties of HCC cells were evaluated using colony formation, transwell, flow cytometry, and TUNEL assays, respectively. Transcriptome sequencing was carried out either with or without taxifolin treatment. The expression of cuproptosis-related proteins was determined by Western blot. We observed significant decrease of cell viability, Glutathione (GSH), and mitochondrial respiratory chain under the treatment of taxifolin, while an increase of copper ions level. Taxifolin was observed to suppress HCC progression both in vitro and in vivo. The intersection analysis was performed between upregulated genes and cuproptosis-related genes to obtain one intersection gene-SLC31A1. The knockdown of SLC31A1 reversed the tumor-suppressive effects induced by taxifolin. Taxifolin inhibited HCC progression through inducing cuproptosis in an SLC31A1-mediated manner.
