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

backgroundMarine-derived secondary metabolites such as phlorotannins from the edible brown alga

methodsThis study explored the anticancer potential of three major phlorotannins (dieckol, 7-phloroeckol, and 8,8'-bieckol) through network pharmacology, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and in vitro validation in SKOV3 ovarian cancer cells and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs).

resultsComputational analyses revealed stable binding of phlorotannins to IL-17RA, with 7-phloroeckol and 8,8'-bieckol preferentially engaging loop-proximal regions of the receptor, while dieckol interacted with spatially distinct residues. In SKOV3 ovarian cancer cells, phlorotannins suppressed migration and invasion by approximately 40 to 60%, accompanied by reduced MMP expression linked to IL-17RA-Act1 signaling attenuation and by increased TIMP1 expression in association with transient ERK1/2 activation. In TAMs, phlorotannins attenuated pro-tumorigenic cytokine production and polarization marker expression, indicating suppression of tumor-supportive immune activity.

conclusionsCollectively, these findings demonstrate that
