Synergistic cytotoxicity of ampelopsin sodium and carboplatin in human non-small cell lung cancer cell line SPC-A1 by G
Article in Chinese journal of integrative medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the cytotoxic effects of ampelopsin sodium (Amp-Na) and carboplatin (CBP) used alone or in combination on human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells SPC-A1 in vitro and its related mechanism.
methodsCytotoxic effects were assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assays. The synergistic effects of the drugs were calculated with coefficient of drug interaction (CDI). Cell cycle was determined by flow cytometry (FCM). The levels of p53, p21, cyclinE, cyclinD1, and phosphorylated cyclin-dependent kinase-2 (p-CDK2) were evaluated by Western blot.
resultsAmp-Na (6.25-200 μg/mL) and CBP (3.13-100 μg/mL) alone exhibited prominent cytotoxic activity in a concentration-dependent manner on SPC-A1 cells with 50% inhibitive concentration values of 57.07±14.46 and 34.97±6.30 μg/mL, respectively. Drug combinations were associated with significantly higher cytotoxic effects than each drug alone (P<0.05 or 0.01). The CDI analysis confirmed the synergy of Amp-Na and CBP on inhibiting cancer cell viability across a wide concentration range (CDI <1). FCM and Western blot showed that synergistic cytotoxic effects of Amp-Na and CBP were related to G
conclusionsAmp-Na exhibits anticancer activities and enhances the antitumor activities of CBP through up-regulation of p21 and inhibition of CDK2 activity in human NSCLC cells SPC-A1. These results suggest that Amp-Na may be applied to enhance the anticancer action of CBP.
