FVTF inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma stem properties via targeting DNMT1/miR-34a-5p/FoxM1 axis.
Article in Chinese medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundFructus Viticis Total Flavonoids (FVTF) is a novel candidate preparation that possesses anticancer activity. However, the role and mechanism of FVTF-inhibiting human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell stem properties is unclear.
methodsLiquid chromatography (LC) in conjugation with mass spectrometer (MS) was used to identify the compounds of FVTF. Tumorsphere and soft agar colony formation ability, cancer stem marker expression levels, CD133
resultsA total of 26 compounds, including 10 flavones, in FVTF were identified. FVTF significantly reduced the ability of tumorsphere and soft agar colony formation, the levels of CD44 protein and BMI1, OCT4 and SOX2 mRNAs in HCC cells, and in vivo tumor initiation ability of HCC cells. Mechanistically, FVTF inhibited HCC cell stem properties via targeting DNMT1/miR-34a-5p/FoxM1 axis. Clinically, DNMT1 expression was inversely correlated with miR-34a-5p expression, whereas a positive correlation was noted between DNMT1 and FoxM1 expression levels, and high DNMT1 levels, low miR-34a-5p levels, and high FoxM1 levels were associated with cancer recurrence. Furthermore, a combination of DNMT1, miR-34a-5p and FoxM1 served as an independent prognostic indicator influencing both DFS and OS in patients with HCC.
conclusionsFVTF inhibits HCC cell stem properties by targeting DNMT1/miR-34a-5p/FoxM1 axis, which is associated with HCC recurrence and prognosis, and FVTF is a prospective treatment drug for human HCC.
