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

This study is aimed at investigating the effect of arsenic trioxide (ATO) on p53 null human osteosarcoma MG63 cells and the mechanisms underlying the effect. Apoptotic cells were detected by flow cytometry with Annexin-V-FITC/PI dual staining. Intracellular ROS was measured by flow cytometry using a cell-based ROS assay kit. Catalase activity and mRNAs were analyzed by ELISA and real-time qRT-PCR, respectively. Apoptosis and intracellular ROS of MG63 cells increased in a dose-dependent manner following arsenic treatments. Both were prevented by the presence of the anti-oxidative reagent N-acetyl-L: -cysteine (NAC) or catalase (CAT). Furthermore, the activity and mRNA of catalase were decreased strikingly following arsenic exposure. The present study indicates that p53 null osteosarcoma MG63 cells are susceptible to the ATO; the inhibition of catalase and the resulted intracellular ROS accumulation are an important molecular mechanism under which ATO induces apoptosis of p53-deficient osteosarcoma cells.
