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

Baicalin is a flavonoid glycoside extracted from a kind of traditional Chinese drug, Scutellaria baicalensis, and possesses multiple pharmacological activities. The present study was designed to investigate the effects and mechanisms of baicalin against hepatic cancer cell growth and survival. We found that baicalin inhibited the viability and proliferation of two widely used hepatic cancer cell lines, Hep G2 and SMMC-7721 cells, in a dose-dependent manner. Cell cycle analysis revealed an increase in the S-phase cell population following 48 h exposure to baicalin. The expression levels of Cyclin A, CDK2, and Cyclin D1 were downregulated by baicalin treatment. Moreover, baicalin induced apoptotic cell death in Hep G2 and SMMC-7721 cells, which was accompanied by upregulation of Bax, downregulation of Bcl-2, and cleavages of Caspase-9, Caspase-3, and PARP. Furthermore, baicalin significantly inhibited the growth of xenografts in nude mice. In conclusion, we demonstrated for the first time that baicalin inhibited hepatic cancer cell growth and survival both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that baicalin may be a potential phytochemical flavonoid for hepatic cancer therapy.
