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 different effects of two cytostatic drugs, Actinomycin D and Vinblastine, during macrophage-like differentiation induced in THP-1 monocytic cell line by phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) (6, 30, and 60 nM), were studied by morpho-cytochemical approaches. In PMA-unstimulated monocytic cells, the cytostatic effects of Actinomycin D (an antimetabolic drug) were characterized by a drastic reduction of the G2/M cells accompanied by dramatic death of the G1 cells; on the contrary, Vinblastine (a microtubule-depolymerizating drug) induced an accumulation of the G2/M cells with the appearance of aneugenic micronuclei and scarce cell death mainly from the G1 cells. After 60 nM PMA stimulation, the culture was mostly composed by macrophagic cells characterized by low proliferation and the appearance of mono-/binucleated polyploid cells; in this condition, the cytotoxicity of the two drugs, more effective for Vinblastine, induced cell death in the different ploidy classes (2c, 4c, 8c). Cell death appeared to be of apoptotic nature, but with some morpho-phenotypic differences due to the action mechanism of the drugs and dependent on cell culture growth and differentiation. As a consequence of the different block-action of the two drugs on the cell cycle phases and in relation to the different subcellular targets, the effects changed during the transition from not-adhering/proliferating monocytes to adhering/low-proliferating differentiated macrophages.
