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

Ewing sarcoma (ES) is a highly aggressive pediatric bone cancer with limited treatment options for metastatic or recurrent cases. This study investigated the antitumor effects of kaempferol, a natural flavonoid, on ES and its underlying molecular mechanisms. In vitro experiments demonstrated that kaempferol significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of SK-ES-1 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Mechanistically, kaempferol upregulated miR-26b-5p, which directly targeted and suppressed FAM98A, a pro-oncogenic protein. This regulation led to the inhibition of the EGFR/PI3K/AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway, reducing tumor growth and metastasis. In vivo studies further confirmed that kaempferol suppressed ES tumor growth in a xenograft mouse model, while miR-26b-5p knockdown partially reversed this effect. Our findings suggest that kaempferol exerts its antitumor activity in ES by modulating the miR-26b-5p/FAM98A axis and downstream signaling pathways, highlighting its potential as a novel therapeutic agent for ES treatment.
