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

It has been demonstrated that triptolide inhibits the growth of several types of cancer cells in vitro and prevents tumor growth in vivo by inducing apoptosis and autophagy. Here we showed that Tripchlorolide (T4) significantly suppressed the proliferation of A549 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. This suppressive effect was diminished when cells were pretreated with 3-Methylamphetamine (3-MA). After the cells were treated with T4, the LC3 II protein expression was significantly increased, and autophagosomes were observed by TEM. However, almost no apoptosis was observed in A549 treated with T4. These results suggest that T4 induces A549 cell death predominantly through the activation of the autophagy pathway instead of the apoptosis pathway.
