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

objectivePrevious studies have shown that the Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb761) can be used to anti-cancer. However, the mechanism by which EGb761 mediate this effect is still unclear. In the present study, EGb761 inhibited cell proliferation and induced cell apoptosis in gastric cancer cell was explored.

methodsThe cell viability was detected by the CCK8 assay. The cell cycle and apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry. The protein expression of caspase-3, p53 and Bcl-2 were analyzed by western blot.

resultsTreatment of human gastric cancer cells with EGb761 induced cell death in a dose-dependent manner by using CCK8 assay. Consistent with the CCK8 assay, the flow cytometry results showed that gastric cancer cells were accumulated in G0/G1 phase when exposed to EGb761. Furthermore, the proportion of apoptosis cells was increased after EGb761 treatment as compared to untreated group. In addition, our results showed that the treatment of AGS cells with EGb761 significantly increased the expression of caspase3 and p53, and decreased the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 level.

conclusionsOur results demonstrated that EGb761 could inhibit gastric cancer proliferation through adjusting cell cycle and inducing cell apoptosis.
