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

The study examined the effects of a plant product artemisinin (ARS) on epithelial-mesenchymal transition and drug resistance in cervical cancer cells mediated via the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. ARS inhibited invasion and migration of CaSki and HeLa cancer cells, up-regulated expression of ICAM-1, MMP-9, and E-cadherin proteins, as well as down-regulated expression of vimentin. In both cell lines, ARS down-regulated mRNA and protein expression of P-glycoprotein, ATP-binding cassette transporters B and G2; it also reduced expression of β-catenin protein. In comparison with the cells treated with Wnt/β-catenin pathway inhibitor iCRT3, the combined treatment of the cells with ARS and iCRT3 reduced their invasion and migration, down-regulated expression of MMP-9, ICAM-1, vimentin, and β-catenin proteins, as well as up-regulated expression of E-cadherin.
