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

Arsenic is a well-known environmental toxicant but the mechanism by which it causes cytotoxicity is poorly understood. Arsenite induces apoptosis in glutathione (GSH)-deficient GCS-2 cells by causing cell cycle dysfunction and down-regulating critical signaling pathways. This study was designed to examine the effect of arsenite on redox-sensitive phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt, a signaling pathway involved in cell survival and growth, and transcription factor, activating protein-1 (AP-1). Arsenite significantly diminished Akt and c-Fos levels and caused accelerated degradation of these proteins by ubiquitnation. Arsenite also induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. The cell cycle arrest involved the down-regulation of cyclin A2, cyclin D1, cyclin E, cyclin dependent kinases (CDK) 2, CDK4, and CDK6. Apoptosis involved down-regulation of anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, survivin, and inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) and up-regulation of pro-apoptotic protein Bax. Taken together, our results suggest that a possible mechanism of arsenite-induced toxicity under low/no GSH conditions, is to negatively regulate GCS-2 cell proliferation by attenuating Akt and AP-1 by ubiquitination and causing cell cycle dysfunction and apoptosis.
