Plant Compounds Inhibit the Growth of W12 Cervical Precancer Cells Containing Episomal or Integrant HPV DNA; Tanshinone IIA Synergizes with Curcumin in Cervical Cancer Cells.

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
This study explores the effects of plant compounds on human papillomavirus (HPV)-induced W12 cervical precancer cells and bioelectric signaling. The aim is to identify effective phytochemicals, both individually and in combination, that can prevent and treat HPV infection and HPV associated cervical cancer. Phytochemicals were tested using growth inhibition, combination, gene expression, RT PCR, and molecular docking assays. W12 cells, derived from a cervical precancerous lesion, contain either episomal or integrated HPV16 DNA. Several compounds, including digoxin, tanshinone IIA, dihydromethysticin and carrageenan, as well as fractions of turmeric, ginger and pomegranate inhibited the growth of W12 precancer and cervical cancer cells. Curcumin and tanshinone IIA were the most active and relatively nontoxic compounds. RT-PCR analysis showed that tanshinone IIA activated the expression of p53, while repressing the expression of HPV16 E1, E2, E4, E6, and E7 viral transcripts in W12 (type 1 and 2) integrant cells. In addition, curcumin synergized with tanshinone IIA in HeLa cells. Molecular docking studies suggested tanshinone IIA and curcumin bind to the Na
