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

Recent studies have demonstrated the role of caspase-14 in terminally differentiated keratinocytes, and its expression may decrease the magnitude of tumors in the epidermis. In the present study, we assessed the potential of luteolin (LUT) to elicit the expression of caspase-14 in terminal differentiation of human keratinocytes. The semi-qualitative RT-PCR data revealed a significant level of caspase-14 expression in LUT-treated human immortalized keratinocytes (HaCaT) with respect to untreated cells. The quantitative data (ELISA) further supported the potency of LUT to induce caspase-14 expression at 3.19 ng/ml when compared to 1.29 ng/ml of vitamin D3 (positive control). Further, the enhanced expression of human involucrin gene in LUT-treated HaCaT cells confirmed its ability to drive terminal differentiation in these cells. These preliminary results provide first-hand information about the in vitro potential of LUT to elicit the expression of caspase-14, thereby inducing terminal differentiation in human keratinocytes.
