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

Background: This study investigates the antitumor effects of gallic acid (GA) on ovarian cancer cells and its potential synergistic therapeutic effects with cisplatin (DDP) through modulation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Methods: Systematic evaluations were conducted using both in vitro cell experiments and in vivo animal models to assess the impact of GA alone and in combination with DDP on ovarian cancer cell proliferation, apoptosis, and related signaling pathways. Results: The results demonstrate that GA significantly inhibits the proliferation of ovarian cancer cells and enhances the anticancer effects of DDP by regulating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. In in vivo experiments, the combination of GA and DDP significantly inhibits tumor growth and prolongs survival in a mouse model of ovarian cancer without apparent toxicity to vital organs. Conclusion: This study provides scientific evidence for the potential use of GA as an adjuvant drug in ovarian cancer treatment.
