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

backgroundEsophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a common malignant tumor of the digestive system. Studies have shown that pseudolaric acid B (PAB) has several pharmacological effects like anti-microtubule, anti-angiogenesis, and antitumor functions, while the effect and mechanism of PAB on esophageal cancer are still unclear. This study was designed to investigate the effects of PAB on ESCC.

methodsTo study the effects of PAB on the biological function through a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments.

resultsThe results revealed that PAB inhibited the proliferation, invasion, and migration, but promoted the apoptosis of ESCC. Moreover, PAB restrained the growth of cancer cells in vivo and inhibited the angiogenesis of HUVEC in mice with ESCC. CD147 expression was increased in the esophageal squamous cell lines, and interference with CD147 hindered the proliferation, invasion, and migration of ESCC cells, and inhibited the growth and angiogenesis of the esophageal squamous cell line. PAB reduced the expression of CD147 in vivo and in vitro. The expression of MMP2, 3, and 9 was increased after overexpression of CD147, which provided the opportunity to reverse the role of PAB in inhibiting proliferation, invasion, migration, and angiogenesis of ESCC. DISCUSSION: The results revealed that PAB inhibited the proliferation, invasion, migration, and angiogenesis of ESCC in vitro and in vivo by CD147. PAB is a promising monomer for therapy of ESCC, providing references for future research on ESCC treatment.
