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

Plant extracts and compounds are applied to a wide variety of diseases in which traditional drugs have proven ineffective. A quickly developing trend in biomedicine is the therapeutic use of siRNA (short interfering RNA) structures. The focus of this study was on evaluating the gene expression involved in the modulation of apoptosis, in cases of combinatorial treatment (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and/or p53siRNA. EGCG in combination with p53siRNA exerts synergic pro-apoptotic effects that are greater than those of each agent taken individually. There is a cumulative antiproliferative effect, induced by EGCG and p53siRNA treatment, and it is mediated through the activation of a large number of pro-apoptotic genes and the inhibition of anti-apoptotic protein expression levels. p53siRNA promotes the convergence of the extrinsic and intrinsic pathways in a synergic manner with EGCG. The chemotherapeutic effects of EGCG in combination with p53siRNA therapy induced a synergic pro-apoptotic effect, indicating the potential for development of promising new anticancer therapies.
