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 present study demonstrates the effect of allicin on the proliferation and the cell cycle distribution of the chondrocytes. MTT assay and flow cytometry were used for the evaluation of the effect of allicin on cell proliferative and the cell cycle distribution, respectively of the chondrocytes. The reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western blot analysis were respectively used for the analysis of mRNA and protein expression levels of cyclin D1, CDK4 and CDK6. The results revealed that exposure of the chondrocytes to allicin at a concentration of 40 µM significantly promoted the cell viability. Treatment of the cells with 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 μg/mL of allicin enhanced the cell viability by 2.5.47 ± 0.86, 5.43 ± 0.66, 10.74 ± 1.48, 35.89 ± 3.78, and 32.21 ± 2.92%, respectively after 36 h compared to control cells. Allicin exposure caused a marked decrease in the percentage of cells in G0/G1 phase with a subsequent increase in the S phase population. Furthermore, allicin treatment enhanced the expression of cyclin D1, CDK4 and CDK6. Therefore, allicin treatment enhances the proliferation of chondrocytes by promoting the transition from G1 to S phase of the cell cycle through increase in the expression of cyclin D1, CDK4 and CDK6 levels.
