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

beta-Ionone is a constituent of vegetables and fruits, and can induce apoptosis in some types of malignant cells. However, the mechanism of apoptosis in osteosarcoma (U2os) cells is currently unclear. In this study, we determined whether beta-ionone can induce apoptosis in U2os cells in vitro and which signal pathway(s) is involved. We found that beta-ionone inhibited cell proliferation in U2os cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner and caused cell cycle arrest at the G1-S phase. TUNEL assay, DNA ladder and assessment of Caspase 3 activity showed that apoptosis was the determinant in the effects of beta-ionone. Furthermore, Expression of the p53 protein increased in a concentration-dependent and time-dependent manner according to immunocytochemistry and immunoblotting after beta-ionone treatment. In addition, beta-ionone upregulated Bax protein and downregulated Bcl2 protein which led to Bax translocation and cytochrome c release, subsequently activated Caspase 3, thus resulting in apoptosis. In summary, these data suggested that beta-ionone induced apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner in U2os cells via a p53-dependent mitochondrial pathway.
