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

The anticancer effect of sclareol has long been reported, however, the exact mechanisms underlying the antitumorigenic effect of sclareol in cervical carcinoma remain to be fully elucidated. The present study analyzed cell proliferation and cell apoptosis by MTT and FITC‑Annexin V assays. The protein levels of caveolin‑1 (Cav‑1) and copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD)1 were determined by western blotting, and the interaction of Cav1 and HSC70 was investigated by co‑immunoprecipitation experiments. The present study found that sclareol inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in HeLa cells. Two cancer‑associated proteins, Cav1 and SOD1 were identified as potential targets of sclareol in HeLa cells. The expression of Cav1 increased when the cells were treated with sclareol, and the protein level of SOD1 was negatively correlated with Cav1. The overexpression of Cav1 enhanced the sensitivity of the HeLa cells to sclareol treatment and downregulated the protein level of SOD1, which exhibited potential associations between Cav1 and SOD1. In addition, sclareol significantly sensitized several cancer cells to the anticancer effect of bortezomib by targeting Cav1 and SOD1. Taken together, the results of the present study demonstrated that sclareol inhibited tumor cell growth through the upregulation of Cav1, and provides a potential therapeutic target for human cancer.
