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

Objective: Ganoderic acid A can inhibit the proliferation and promotes the apoptosis of cancer cells. Surprisingly, the molecular mechanisms underlying the anti-cancer effects of ganoderic acid A still remain poorly defined. Ganoderic acid A derivative (GaAD19) is an effective ingredient obtained by structural modification of ganoderic acid A. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anti-proliferation effect of GaAD19 on cervical cancer cells. Methods: Through the HeLa cervical cancer cell model, the drug target of GaAD19 was predicted using the SwissTargetPrediction database and molecular docking. Subsequently, computer analysis results were verified by a series of molecular biology experiments, such as flow cytometry, Western blot, immunocytochemical staining, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL), quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), and so on. Then, pathway agonists and inhibitors were used to investigate the mechanism of GaAD19. Finally, the mouse model of cervical cancer was established to evaluate the inhibitory effect of GaAD19 on tumor growth in U14 cervical cancer mice. Results: GaAD19 induced apoptosis and inhibited the growth of tumors. It also blocked the transition from the G Conclusion: This study showed that GaAD19 can play an anti-cervical cancer role by inhibiting the JNK signaling pathway. These results will be helpful in further exploring the mechanism of GaAD19 in the treatment of cervical cancer.
