6-gingerol promotes apoptosis of ovarian cancer cells through miR-506/Gli3 signaling pathway activation.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Purpose: Ginger rhizomes have shown potential for promoting human health, including the prevention and treatment of cancer. Here, we investigated the anticancer activities of 6-gingerol and explored its mechanisms of action in ovarian cancer cells. Methods: SKOV3 ovarian cancer cells were treated with different concentrations of 6-gingerol. Clonogenic assays, Flow cytometry, and Western blotting were used to evaluate cell survival and apoptosis. RT-qPCR and transfection experiments were performed to assess the role of miR-506, and bioinformatics tools were used to identify Gli3 as a target gene. Results: Conclusions: Our results indicate that gingerol promoted the upregulation of miR-506, leading to the induction of apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells. This study supports the potential of 6-gingerol-based therapy for ovarian malignancies.
