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

Background: Hepatoblastoma has an unsatisfactory prognosis, and traditional chemotherapy has strong side effects. Dihydromyricetin is a flavonoid extracted from a woody vine of the genus Serpentine in the family Vitaceae, with effects such as preventing alcoholic liver and reducing the incidence of liver cancer. However, the effect of DHM on hepatoblastoma and its specific pathway are still unclear. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of DHM on children's hepatoblastoma and its related mechanisms. Methods: CCK-8 assays were used to measure proliferation. Apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were analyzed by flow cytometry. Apoptotic cells were observed using Hoechst 33342 staining and fluorescence microscopy. Protein expression levels in HuH-6 and HepG2 cells were determined by western blotting. Results: We found that DHM was able to inhibit the growth and increase cellular mortality in HuH-6 and HepG2 cells. Furthermore, DHM decreased the intracellular ROS level and increased the expression of SOD1. ROS scavenger NAC promoted apoptosis, while the use of SOD1 inhibitor LCS-1 weakened the ROS scavenging effect of DHM , and to some extent reduced the killing effect of DHM on hepatoblastoma cells. Conclusion: These results suggest that regulating SOD1/ROS pathway to induce apoptosis is one of the potential mechanisms of DHM as a tumor suppressor in hepatoblastoma. Therefore, DHM may be a novel candidate for inhibiting hepatoblastoma growth and deserves further study.
