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

Naringenin (NGEN), a naturally occurring citrus flavonone, has shown cytotoxicity in various human cancer cell lines as well as inhibitory effects on tumor growth. It has been also shown to access the brain and there is an increasing interest in its therapeutic applications. The up-regulated expression of Cx43 leads to the suppression of tumorigenicity with promoted apoptotic events. In this study, we investigated the in vivo effect of NGEN in fostering apoptosis in cerebrally implanted C6 glioma cells rat model. We analysed the expression of Cx43, caspase-3, caspase-9, Cyt C, Bcl-2 and Bax in vivo by immunoblot analysis and the ultra structure of brain cells by transmission electron microscopy. Supplementation of NGEN to experimental animals modulated Bcl-2/Bax ratio and up-regulation of caspase-3 and 9. NGEN was also found to up-regulate the expression of Cx43. These findings provide evidence that NGEN's apoptotic effect, modulation of Bcl-2/Bax ratio leads to release of Cyt C from mitochondria, thereby activation of caspase-3 and caspase-9 is mediated by enhanced expression of Cx43. These observations were well supported by the transmission electron microscopic results which showed the characteristic apoptotic features. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate that NGEN promotes apoptosis in rat C6 glioma model.
