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

Bladder cancer has been shown to resist programmed cell death with altered expression of both pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic proteins. To study is to investigate the apoptotic properties of Diindolylmethane (DIM) and Lupeol on N-Butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl) Nitrosamine (BBN) initiated and Dimethylarsinic Acid (DMA) promoted urinary bladder cancer. Sixty male Wistar rats were divided into 6 groups. Group I: Control. Group II: Rats were experimentally developed bladder carcinogenesis with BBN and DMA. Group III and IV: DIM and lupeol were administered after BBN treatment for 28 weeks. Group V and VI: DIM and lupeol alone treatment for 36 weeks. All the experimental rats were maintained and euthanized after 36 weeks protocol. Urinary bladder tissues were collected and processed for further investigations. Apoptotis and cell proliferative marker such as Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3, caspase-9 and PCNA were quantified using immunohistochemical analysis. The Immunohistochemical expression of Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3, caspase-9 and PCNA were aberrant in BBN + DMA treated tumor group. Administration of DIM and lupeol inhibited the progression of bladder cancer, induced the expression of apoptotic Bax, caspase-3, caspase-9 and inhibited the expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2, PCNA in the urinary bladder of rats. Administration of diindolylmethane and lupeol treatment induces apoptosis and cellular proliferation by its anti-carcinogenic properties. From our results DIM and lupeol would be the agent or adjunct for the treatment of bladder carcinogenesis.
