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

Stellera chamaejasme L. has been widely used in the treatment of lung, liver and esophageal cancer in Chinese traditional medicine. In our previous study, we found that the extract of Stellera chamaejasme L. (ESC) inhibited the growth and induced the apoptosis of human lung cancer NCI-H157 cells. In the present study, we investigated the cellular effects of an ESC-2 extract isolated from ESC in the NCI-H157 human lung cancer cell line. We found that ESC-2 inhibited the growth of NCI-H157 cells, demonstrating ESC-2-induced morphological changes in cells and reduced cell viability in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Furthermore, we observed that ESC-2 resulted in apoptosis, activation of caspase-8 and caspase-3, and an increase in Fas expression, indicating that the NCI-H157 cell growth inhibitory activity of ESC-2 was due to death receptor-dependent pathway-mediated apoptosis, which may partly explain the anti-cancer activity of ESC-2.
