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

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), the most common biliary tract malignancy, is arising from the bile duct epithelium with the global significantly increased morbidity and mortality. Here, we showed the effect of guggulsterone, a steroid found in the resin of the guggul plant, on human HuCC-T1 and RBE CCA cells. Exposure to various concentrations of guggulsterone for multiple action time resulted in significant apoptosis in the CCA cells via activating both extrinsic and intrinsic pathways. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the apoptosis of CCA cells was induced by Reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated JNK signaling pathway. Consistently, inhibition of JNK activity, overexpression of JBD, its binding protein or reduction of ROS by overexpression of catalase, all decreased apoptotic cells. Our results also revealed that guggulsterone-induced apoptosis was coupled with endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) in CHOP-dependent pathway. Downregulation of CHOP instead of other ERS markers could inhibit CCA cell apoptosis. Taken together, our results showed that guggulsterone could induce apoptosis of human CCA cells through ROS/JNK signaling pathway, indicating that guggulsterone could be important for the clinical therapy of CCA.
