[Apoptotic effect of coix polysaccharides on A549 lung cancer cells in vitro].
Article in Zhongguo fei ai za zhi = Chinese journal of lung cancer, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveCoix seeds are commonly used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and ingested through daily diet. The aim of this study is to analyze the apoptotic effect of coix polysaccharides on A549 cells.
methodsA fraction of polysaccharides was isolated from coix seeds and extracted by ethanol precipitation. The extract was then purified by dialysis and DEAE-52 ion-exchange chromatography. Cell viability was determined by the MTT assay. Cell morphology was observed by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), and cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry (FCM). The relative quantities of caspase-3 and caspase-9 were determined by RT-PCR.
resultsCoix polysaccharides exerted remarkable inhibitory effects on A549 cell proliferation. Apoptotic bodies were observed by SEM. Apoptotic induction was also verified by DNA accumulation using propidium iodide nucleus staining in the S phase by flow cytometry, as well as by DNA fragmentation using the comet assay. Regarding the molecular mechanism of apoptosis induction, the gene expression of caspase-3 and caspase-9 increased after coix polysaccharide treatment.
conclusionsPolysaccharide fraction CP-1 induced A549 cell apoptosis.
