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

The effects of carnosic acid (CA) were investigated on the acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell growth in vivo. A NOD/SCID AML mouse model, which was set up by inoculation with K562/A02 cells, was used to study whether tumor growth in vivo can be inhibited by CA combined with adriamycin. After being inoculated with K562/A02 cells, the NOD/SCID mice were expressed positive human mdr1 and bcr/abl genes. This result indicates that the K562/A02/SCID leukemia mouse model is successfully established. The mice treated with CA combined with adriamycin exhibit a significant lower number of leukemia cells (20%) than that of untreated animals (32.5%) (P<0.05), in particular with higher percentages of apoptotic cells than the mice treated by single adriamycin (control) group. The median of 95% CI survival time is 19 (10.0-44.2) and 33 (29.4-36.6) days for the control group and the CA-treated group, respectively. The difference is statistically significant (P<0.05). It is illustrated that the natural compound CA, combined with Adriamycin, has high potential to inhibit the growth of malignant cells in vivo, and is a promising adjuvant anti-cancer drug. Prospective studies should be conducted to understand the functional mechanism of CA at the molecular level.
