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

We previously demonstrated that 5,7-dihydroxy-8-nitrochrysin (NOC), a novel synthetic chrysin analog, preferentially inhibits HER-2/neu-overexpressing MDA-MB-453 breast cancer cell growth by inducing apoptosis; however, the precise molecular mechanism was unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that NOC significantly induces apoptosis of MDA-MB-453 cells and that this is primarily mediated through a mitochondrial death cascade. This was presented as a loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, release of cytochrome c and activation of caspase-9. NOC induces a significant increase in levels of the BH3-only protein Bim. Small interfering RNA-mediated knockdown of Bim markedly attenuated NOC-induced apoptosis. An upstream transcriptional regulator of Bim, forkhead box O3a transcription factor (FOXO3a), experienced a decrease in phosphorylation and nuclear translocation. Silencing of FOXO3a resulted in a marked attenuation in the expression of Bim, as well as protection against NOC-mediated apoptosis. Furthermore, NOC-induced activation and nuclear localization of FOXO3a was associated with reduced levels of Akt phosphorylation. These results suggest that NOC induces apoptosis in MDA-MB-453 human breast cancer cells via caspase activation and modulation of the Akt/FOXO3a pathway.
