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

Introduction: Luteolin (Lu) and its glycosylated derivative, luteolin-7-O-glucoside (LuG), are the main bioactive flavonoids reported in the Methods: Lu and LuG were isolated from Results: LuG exhibited preferential accumulation in the liver (~28.7%) and significant cytotoxicity on HepG2 cells. Flow cytometry indicated non-apoptotic cell death and G1/S phase cell cycle arrest in HepG2 cells treated with LuG, whereas Lu showed less accumulation and cytotoxicity. Biodistribution data revealed lower accumulation in other organs, and LuG had negligible toxicity on non-hepatic cells (HUVEC, SW480). Overall biodistribution analysis revealed lower off-target accumulation, further supporting the hepatic selectivity of LuG. Conclusion: This study provides the first integrated evidence of the liver-targeted biodistribution and selective anticancer effects of LuG. These findings demonstrate LuG as a candidate therapeutic for hepatocellular carcinoma. These results emphasize the importance of pharmacological evaluation of flavonoid glycosides and support preclinical development of LuG as a targeted anticancer agent.
