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

Kaempferol (KMF) possesses notable anti-tumor bioactivity, which indicates its promising action in the therapy of gynecologic cancers. Here, we examined the therapeutic potential of the naturally occurring flavonoid kaempferol coated on niosome nanoparticles (NPs) and its impact on the breast cancer cell line MCF-7. Niosome NPs containing KMF were prepared by thin-layer hydration. The generated niosome/KMF NPs cytotoxicity on MCF-7 and MCF-10 cell lines were assessed by MTT assay. The physicochemical properties of the niosome/KMF NPs were characterized by SEM, DLS zeta potential, and FTIR. Flow cytometry was used to quantify primary and secondary apoptosis, necrosis and cell cycle arrest. Finally, the expression of apoptosis (Bax and caspase 3) and metastasis genes (ITGA5 and MMP2) was analyzed by Real-time PCR. A Scratch test was performed to investigate the anti-metastatic effect of synthesized nanoparticles. The results showed that the synthesized niosome/KMF NPs have a diameter of 500 nm, a zeta potential of 33.9 mV and a PDI of 0.169. The FTIR spectrum of niosome NPs containing KMF showed distinct peaks in the range of 600-3400 cm
