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

Emodin is an active constituent found in the roots and rhizomes of numerous Chinese medicinal herbs. It exerts antitumor activity against Dalton's lymphoma in vivo, although the detailed mechanisms by which emodin induces apoptosis remains to be elucidated. The present study aimed to analyze the mechanisms underlying the response to emodin treatment. Using lymphoma Raji cells, an emodin‑induced cell proliferating inhibition model was first established, then flow cytometry, western blotting, reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction and luciferase reporter assay were performed. It was found that emodin decreased the percentage of Raji cell viability, induced apoptosis, and increased the activation of caspase 3, caspase 9 and poly (ADP‑ribose) polymerase through the downregulation of ubiquitin‑like protein containing PHD and RING domains 1 (UHRF1). The emodin‑induced downregulation of UHRF1 led to an increase in the level of DNA methyltransferase 3A, which in turn inhibited the activity of p73 promoter 2 and decreased the levels of NH2‑terminally truncated dominant‑negative p73. The treatment of Raji cells with emodin combined with doxorubicin led increased cell death of Raji cells, indicating that emodin may sensitize Raji cells to doxorubicin‑induced apoptosis.
