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

The global burden of malignant glioma is expected to increase and new therapy approaches are urgently required. Solasonine is a natural glycoalkaloid compound that has been used in cancer treatment for many years; however the precise mechanisms are poorly understood. Here we seek to explore the potential roles of solasonine in glioma that could add to the development of newer therapeutic approaches for the treatment of malignant glioma. Cell proliferation of glioma cells was determined by MTT assay, and the biological functions of solasonine were investigated by migration, colony formation, apoptosis assays and cell cycle analysis in glioma cells. Western blotting and RT-qPCR were used to detect the protein and gene expression levels respectively. The nuclear localization of NF-κB p50/p65 was analyzed after treatment with solasonine. The roles of MAPKs in the anticancer effect of solasonine were then examined. The in vivo anti-tumor efficacy of dopamine was also analyzed in xenografts nude mice. We report that solasonine could inhibit cell proliferation, migration and colony formation of glioma cells. Treatment of solasonine induced apoptosis via modulating cytochrome c and caspase signaling. Besides, solasonine decreased the expression of proinflammatory mediators and nuclear translocalization of NF-κB p50/p65. Mechanistic investigation further revealed that solasonine may target anti-inflammatory signaling pathway, and more specifically p-p38 and p-JNK MAPKs. All these indicated that solasonine could inhibit glioma growth via inhibiting inflammatory signaling pathway.
