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

5-O-Methylvisammioside (5OMV), a flavonol compound derived from the traditional Chinese medicine plant Saposhnikovia divaricat, has been shown to inhibit vasospasm induced by High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1) protein. However, its therapeutic potential and molecular mechanisms in HMGB1-induced tumor angiogenesis remain unexplored. Through comprehensive in vitro assays, we demonstrated that 5OMV significantly attenuates HMGB1-induced proliferation, migration, tube formation, and angiogenic activity in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Parallel in vivo studies using an orthotopic hepatocellular carcinoma model in C57BL/6 mice revealed that 5OMV treatment markedly reduced tumor progression and microvascular density. Mechanistic studies identified that 5OMV downregulates both total and phosphorylated forms of RAGE, MEK, and ERK in HUVECs and tumor tissues. These findings collectively establish that 5OMV exerts anti-tumor effects in hepatocellular carcinoma through targeted modulation of the HMGB1/RAGE/MEK/ERK signaling axis.
