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

objectiveChronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a hematologic malignancy characterized by the BCR-ABL1 fusion gene, which drives the uncontrolled proliferation of myeloid cells. Despite advancements in treatment, resistance to conventional therapies remains a significant challenge. Resveratrol, a natural polyphenol, has garnered attention for its potential therapeutic properties, including its ability to modulate key genes and induce apoptosis in cancer cells. This study investigated the effects of resveratrol on apoptosis, cell cycle regulation, and DNA fragmentation in CML cells.

methodsK562 CML cells were treated with resveratrol, and their effects were analyzed through CCK-8 assay for cell viability, TUNEL assay for DNA fragmentation, and real-time PCR for gene expression. Key apoptotic genes (BCL-2, AIF, BAX) were assessed alongside survival-related genes (CASP3, PGC1α, Cyclin-D1, p53) to evaluate resveratrol's anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic potential.

resultResveratrol exhibited a time-dependent reduction in K562 cell viability, with IC₅₀ values decreasing from 282.2 µM at 24 hours to 107.1 µM and 102.4 µM at 48 and 72 hours, respectively. Apoptotic activity, assessed via the TUNEL assay, revealed significant DNA fragmentation in 55 ± 5% of treated cells, while control cells showed no fragmentation. Gene expression analysis demonstrated upregulation of pro-apoptotic genes, including BCL-2, AIF (p < 0.05), BAX (p < 0.01), and VDAC1 (4.5-fold, p < 0.001). Conversely, genes linked to cell survival and metabolism, such as CASP3, PGC1α, NDUFA9, Cyclin-D1, and p53, were slightly downregulated (p < 0.05), highlighting resveratrol's dual role in promoting apoptosis and inhibiting cell survival.

conclusionThese findings suggest that resveratrol exerts anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects in CML cells by modulating key genes and induction of DNA fragmentation, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic agent for CML treatment.
