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

objectiveTo investigate the mechanism of Hesperidin (Hsp) in inhibiting the proliferation and metastasis of breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231.

methodsThe effect of Hsp on cell survival rate was analyzed using the MTT assay. The anti-migration and anti-invasion abilities of Hesperidin were evaluated using the scratch test and Transwell migration assay. The activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-2/MMP-9 was analyzed using gelatin zymography. The expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related proteins (Vimentin, Snail, ZO-1) was detected by Western blot.

resultsLow concentrations of Hsp (2-10 μmol/L) showed no significant cytotoxicity; 20-40 μmol/L significantly reduced survival rate (P<0.01). Scratch test results showed that Hsp inhibited wound healing in a concentration-dependent manner. Transwell migration assay showed that the number of migrating cells decreased with increasing Hsp concentration. Gelatin zymography results indicated that MMP-2/MMP-9 activity decreased with increasing Hsp concentration; Western Blotting results showed that Hsp downregulated the metastasis-related proteins Vimentin and Snail and upregulated the adhesion protein ZO-1.

conclusionOur findings suggest that Hsp inhibits tumor cell invasion and metastasis by potentially reducing MMP-2/MMP-9 hydrolase activity, blocking extracellular matrix degradation, and reversing the EMT process (downregulating Vimentin/Snail and upregulating ZO-1). Hsp may represent a promising candidate for adjuvant therapy in breast cancer.
