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: Isorhamnetin (ISO), a natural flavonoid derived from traditional Chinese medicine, has demonstrated potential antitumor activity. This study aimed to investigate the effects of ISO on the proliferation, migration, and apoptosis of mouse breast cancer 4T1 cells and to explore the underlying mechanisms. Methods: Cell viability was evaluated using a Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Wound healing and colony formation assays were performed to assess migration and clonogenic ability. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and mitochondrial membrane potential were measured to evaluate oxidative stress and mitochondrial function. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analyses were conducted to determine the expression of the TIGIT/CD155 signaling axis. Results: ISO inhibited 4T1 cell proliferation in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. It significantly reduced migration and clonogenic capacity. ISO treatment increased intracellular ROS levels and disrupted mitochondrial membrane potential, indicating oxidative stress-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction. Additionally, ISO markedly downregulated the mRNA and protein expression levels of the TIGIT/CD155 signaling axis (p < 0.01). Conclusion: ISO suppresses proliferation and migration and induces apoptosis in 4T1 breast cancer cells, potentially through modulation of oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and the TIGIT/CD155 signaling axis. These findings provide mechanistic insight into the antitumor effects of ISO and support its potential as a therapeutic candidate for breast cancer.
