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

Oral carcinogenesis, a multistep process with multifaceted etiology, arises due to accumulation of heterogeneous genetic changes in the genes involved in the basic cellular functions including cell division, differentiation, and cell death. These genetic changes in the affected cell progressively increase the cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and inhibition of apoptosis. The present study investigated the modulating effect of geraniol on the expression pattern of cell proliferative (PCNA, cyclin D1, c-fos), inflammatory (NF-κB, COX-2), apoptotic (p53, Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3 and -9), and angiogenic (VEGF) markers in 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced hamster buccal pouch carcinogenesis. Topical application of 0.5 % DMBA in liquid paraffin, three times a week, for 14 weeks, developed well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the buccal pouch of golden Syrian hamsters. All the hamsters treated with DMBA alone (100 %) developed oral tumors in the buccal pouch after 14 weeks. Over-expression of mutant p53, PCNA, Bcl-2, and VEGF accompanied by decreased expression of Bax were noticed in hamsters treated with DMBA alone. Increased expression of c-fos, COX-2, NF-κB, and cyclin D1 and decreased activities of caspase-3 and -9 were also noticed in hamsters treated with DMBA alone. Oral administration of geraniol at a dose of 250 mg/kg bw (body weight) not only completely prevented the formation of oral tumors but also prevented the deregulation in the expression of above mentioned molecular markers in hamsters treated with DMBA. The present results thus suggest that geraniol has potent anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic, anti-cell proliferative, and apoptosis-inducing properties in DMBA-induced hamster buccal pouch carcinogenesis.
