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

objectiveBreast cancer has been reported to be a serious disease and a threat to women's health. 2,3,5,4'-Tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-d-glucoside (THSG) is a bioactive natural compound originating from MATERIALS AND

methodsMTT assay was detected to determine cell viability. Furthermore, cell apoptosis was tested by flow cytometry and TUNEL assay. In addition, protein expression was measured by Western blot analysis.

resultsThe individual treatment of THSG and ADM induced cell injury. Moreover, cotreatment further increased it, which the effect may be associated with the elevation of the apoptotic-related protein expression such as Bax/Bcl-2 and cleaved caspase-3/caspase-3. Lastly, our results also show the reduction of vascular endothelial growth factor/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt protein expression in the individual or synergistic treatment.

conclusionTaken together, cotreatment of THSG and ADM may exert a synergistic reduction of cell injury via the inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt pathway. Thus, THSG might possess potent anti-breast cancer effect with ADM.
