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

contextSophoridine, an alkaloid quinolizidine derived from

objectiveTo identify the key targets and potential pharmacological mechanisms of sophoridine against breast cancer. MATERIALS AND

methodsMCF-10A, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with sophoridine for 24 or 48 h. MTT, colony formation assay, flow cytometry, wound healing, and Transwell assay were employed to illustrate the anti-tumor effects of sophoridine on breast cancer. Network pharmacology and molecular docking were used to determine the targets for sophoridine in breast cancer, and confirmed by molecular dynamics simulation and CETSA-western blot assay. Additionally, the functional rescue and signaling pathway regulated by sophoridine was analyzed.

resultsSophoridine suppressed the proliferation, migration, and invasion of breast cancer cells. The IC DISCUSSION AND

conclusionTaken together, sophoridine relies on targeting PIM1 to inhibit cell proliferation and migration in breast cancer, which might be related to the activation of ASK1/MAPK axis, suggesting the therapeutic potential of sophoridine for breast cancer.
