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

Luteolin, 3',4',5,7-tetrahydroxyflavone, a natural flavonoid component found in various Chinese herbs such as Scutellaria barbata D. Don, honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, schizonepeta, and ajuga decumbens, exhibits potential for cancer prevention and therapy. This study elucidates the molecular mechanisms by which luteolin, an active constituent of Scutellaria barbata, inhibits invasion and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines both in vitro and in vivo. The oncogenic microRNA miR-6809-5p was found to be aberrantly upregulated in HCC tissues and downregulated by luteolin in HCC cells; overexpression of miR-6809-5p was able to restore the anti-HCC effects of luteolin via the miR-6809-5p/FLOT1/FAK signaling pathway. Furthermore, luteolin suppressed HCC invasion, metastasis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) through modulation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, affecting markers such as E-cadherin, β-catenin, Vimentin, N-cadherin, Snail, Twist, and Slug. This research demonstrates that luteolin effectively inhibits HCC cell migration and invasion and significantly suppresses epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) both in vitro and in vivo.
