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
α-Hederin is a pentacyclic triterpenoid saponin extracted from Pulsatilla chinensis, which is known to suppress cancer cell proliferation. However, the role of this compound in pancreatic cancer cells remains unclear. The aim of this study was to reveal the docking molecular and the regulatory mechanism of α-hederin in pancreatic cancer. Here, we cultured Capan-1 and BxPC-3 cells and treated with different doses of α-hederin. Cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis were detected using CCK8, EdU, Transwell, wound healing assay, and flow cytometer apoptosis assay. The in vivo experiment using subcutaneous tumor and caudal vein metastasis model to evaluate the inhibit effect of α-hederin Capan-1 cell tumor growth and metastasis. Proteomics were used to reveal the regulatory mechanism. The result shows that α-hederin treatment inhibits cell proliferation and invasion in concentration dependence way in both vivo and in vitro. The result shows that the IC50 for both Capan-1 and BxPC-3 were 32.5 Mµ and 15 Mµ, respectively. Flow cytometer apoptosis assay shows that α-hederin treatment promotion cell apoptosis in both Capan-1 and BxPC-3 cells. Proteomics and immunofluorescence detection confirmed that α-hederin treatment downregulated lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) expression and inhibited glycolysis. Molecular docking of α-hederin and LDHA proteins further confirmed that LDHA is a target of α-hederin. Taken together, this study confirms that α-hederin inhibits pancreatic cancer cell proliferation and invasion by inhibiting LDHA-mediated glycolysis. LDHA may be a direct target of α-hederin in pancreatic cancer.
