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

Estrogen (E2, 17β estradiol) is recognized for its regulatory role in numerous genes associated with energy metabolism and for its ability to disrupt mitochondrial function in various cancer types. However, the influence of E2 on the metabolism of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells remains largely unexplored. In this study, we examined how E2 affects mitochondrial function and energy production in CRC cells, utilizing two distinct CRC cell lines, HCT-116 and SW480. Cell viability, mitochondrial function, and the expression of several genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) were assessed in estrogen receptor α (ERα)-expressing and ERα-silenced cells treated with increasing concentrations of E2 for 48 h. Our results indicated that the cytotoxicity of E2 against CRC cells is mediated by the E2/ERα complex, which induces disturbances in mitochondrial function and the OXPHOS pathway. Furthermore, we identified two novel targets,
