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

backgroundNon-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), a prevalent type of lung cancer, has a poor prognosis and contributes to a high mortality rate. Agrimonolide, which belongs to the Rosaceae family, possesses various biomedical activities. This study aimed to explore the efficacy and mechanism of agrimonolide in NSCLC.

methodsThe viability, proliferation, and tumor-forming ability of A549 cells were detected using the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay (CCK-8) assay, EdU staining, and colony formation assay. The cell cycle was detected using flow cytometry. Cell migration and invasion were detected using wound healing and transwell assays. Western blot was used to detect Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT)-, ferroptosis-, and mechanistic targets of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway-related proteins. Lipid peroxidation was detected using the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assay kit, while lipid Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) was detected using a BODIPY 581/591 C11 kit. The level of Fe

resultsIn this study, agrimonolide with varying concentrations (10, 20, and 40 μM) could inhibit the proliferation, induce cycle arrest, suppress metastasis, induce ferroptosis, and block the mTOR signaling pathway in NSCLC cells. To further reveal the mechanism of agrimonolide associated with the mTOR signaling pathway in NSCLC, mTOR agonist MHY1485 (10 μM) was used to pre-treat A549 cells, and functional experiments were conducted again. It was found that the protective effects of AM on NSCLC cells were all partially abolished by MHY1485 pre-treatment.

conclusionAgrimonolide inhibited the malignant progression of NSCLC and induced ferroptosis by blocking the mTOR signaling pathway, thus indicating the potential of agrimonolide as a prospective candidate for treating NSCLC.
