Growth of HepG2 cells was suppressed through modulation of STAT6/IL-4 and IL-10 in RAW 264.7 cells treated by phytoglycoprotein (38 kDa).

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
Macrophage type 2 (M2) is closely associated with tumor progression and metastasis. Thus, in this study, the antitumor effect of Styrax japonica Siebold et al. Zuccarini (SJSZ) glycoprotein on HepG2 cell proliferation through modulating M2 was investigated by measuring [³H]-thymidine incorporation and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), nitric oxide (NO), reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitogen-activated protein kinases, signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 6, cytokines [interleukin (IL)-4, IL-10, IL-12, and interferon (IFN)-γ], and CD163-positive cells using biochemical analysis, radioactivity, Western blot, ELISA, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and flow cytometry in coculture system. RAW 264.7 cells were found to be cytotoxic to HepG2 cells but [³H]-thymidine incorporation and expression of PCNA was suppressed in the presence of the SJSZ glycoprotein (20 μg/ml). The SJSZ glycoprotein normalized production of NO and ROS and expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase, IFN-γ, and IL-12 but suppressed expression of pSTAT6, IL-4, IL-10, and CD163-positive cells. Thus, the results of this study suggest that the SJSZ glycoprotein suppresses proliferation of HepG2 cells by modulating M2.
