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

Chrysin is a natural flavonoid with anti-cancer effects. Despite its beneficial effects, little information is available regarding its immunogenic cell death (ICD) properties. In this work, we hypothesized that chrysin can potentiate radiotherapy(RT)-induced immunogenicity in melanoma cell line (B16-F10). We examined the effects of chrysin alone and in combination with radiation on ICD induction in B16-F10 cells. Cell viability was assessed using an MTT assay. Cell apoptosis and calreticulin (CRT) exposure were determined using flow cytometry. Western blotting and ELISA assay were employed to examine changes in protein expression. Combination therapy exhibited a synergistic effect, with an optimum combination index of 0.66. The synergistic anti-cancer effect correlated with increased cell apoptosis in cancer cells. Compared to the untreated control, chrysin alone and in combination with RT induced higher levels of DAMPs, such as CRT, HSP70, HMGB1, and ATP. The protein expression of p-STAT3/STAT3 and PD-L1 was reduced in B16-F10 cells exposed to chrysin alone and in combination with RT. Conditioned media from B16-F10 cells exposed to mono-and combination treatments elicited IL-12 secretion in dendritic cells (DCs), inducing a Th1 response. Our findings revealed that chrysin could induce ICD and intensify the RT-induced immunogenicity.
