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

Studies in cervical and prostate cancer cells have reported that frequent consumption of foods rich in glycine betaine (GB) and choline have beneficial effects against some types of cancer. However, the role of GB against the human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line HT-29 has not yet been elucidated. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of GB on p53 and caspase-3 expression, which regulate cellular processes such as cell proliferation and apoptosis, respectively, on HT-29 cells. HT-29 cells were treated with GB at 5 mg/mL, 15.6 mg/mL, 31.2 mg/mL, and 62.5 mg/mL, after which RNA purification and cDNA synthesis were performed, followed by qPCR to detect the relative expression of p53 and caspase-3, using GAPDH as a reference gene, and protein levels were determined by ELISA. Results indicated that in HT-29 cells treated with GB at 62.5 mg/mL, the protein levels of p53 significantly (
