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

purposeSenescence and cell death are fail-safe mechanisms protecting against tumorigenesis. Both these forms of cellular response could be induced in cancer cells, thus suppressing tumor progression. Therefore, to fully understand chemotherapeutic effects, not only symptoms of cell death, but also of senescence should be evaluated. Since the involvement of cytoskeleton components in these processes has been reported, changes in the organization and level of some cytoskeletal proteins may be indicative of cell fate.

methodsWe analyzed selected markers of senescence and cell death, including possible alterations in vimentin and G-actin cytoskeleton in A549 cells after treatment with doxorubicin. Light (SA-beta-galactosidase), fluorescent (vimentin and G-actin labeling) and electron microscopic examinations along with flow cytometry methods (TUNEL, Annexin V/PI staining, cell cycle analysis, intracellular level of vimentin) were employed to determine the outcome of the treatment.

resultsUncoupling between senescent cell morphology and stable cell cycle arrest occurred. Some differences in the organization and level of cytoskeletal proteins, especially of vimentin, like fluctuations in its level, were observed. On the other hand, G-actin seemed to be more stable than vimentin.

conclusionsG-actin stability may imply its potential usefulness for permanent senescence detection. Along with slight to moderate cytoskeletal alterations, the obtained results suggest transient senescence-like state induction, followed by morphology typical of mitotic catastrophe in part of the A549 cells.
