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

Growth-inhibitory effects of mimosine, a plant amino acid, on rat C6 glioma cells were analyzed. Mimosine markedly inhibited proliferation and induced apoptosis of C6 glioma cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Mimosine-mediated apoptosis was accompanied by promoting reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in mitochondria, and by decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψ), and release of cytochrome c from mitochondria, followed by caspase 3 activation. Furthermore, mimosine increased the phosphorylation level of c-Jun-N-terminal protein kinase and p38, which was the downstream effect of ROS accumulation. Mimosine was confirmed to show profound effects on apoptosis of C6 glioma cells by ROS-regulated mitochondria pathway, and these results bear on the hypothesized potential for mimosine as promising agents in the treatment of malignant gliomas.
